Not my experience. Codex is the top coding model in my experience and has been since it’s out. Makes fewer mistakes and understands better my intentions.
I tried Codex for a short while but quickly went back to Claude. Found myself having to revert Codex changes all the time. Maybe I had subconsciously altered my workflow/prompting to work well with Claude, but somehow wasn't providing Codex with the correct context, not sure.
My purposeful caveat was 'software professionals', i.e. user in the loop engineering. Codex is much better at slinging slop that you later need to spend some time reviewing if you actually want to understand it.
