Genuinely excited to try this out. I've started using Codex much more heavily in the past two months and honestly, it's been shockingly good. Not perfect mind you, but it keeps impressing me with what it's able to "get". It often gets stuff wrong, and at times runs with faulty assumptions, but overall it's no worse than having average L3-L4 engs at your disposal.

That being said, the app is stuck at the launch screen, with "Loading projects..." taking forever...

Edit: A lot of links to documentation aren't working yet. E.g.: https://developers.openai.com/codex/guides/environments. My current setup involves having a bunch of different environments in their own VMs using Tart and using VS Code Remote for each of them. I'm not married to that setup, but I'm curious how it handles multiple environments.

Edit 2: Link is working now. Looks like I might have to tweak my setup to have port offsets instead of running VMs.

I have the $20 a month subscription for ChatGPT and the $200/year subscription to Claude (company reimbursed).

I have yet to hit usage limits with Codex. I continuously reach it with Claude. I use them both the same way - hands on the wheel and very interactive, small changes and tell them both to update a file to keep up with what’s done and what to do as I test.

Codex gets caught in a loop more often trying to fix an issue. I tell it to summarize the issue, what it’s tried and then I throw Claude at it.

Claude can usually fix it. Once it is fixed, I tell Claude to note in the same file and then go back to Codex

I hit the Claude limit within an hour.

Most of my tokens are used arguing with the hallucinations.

I’ve given up on it.

Do you use Claude Code, or do you use the models from some other tool?

I find it quite hard to hit the limits with Claude Code, but I have several colleagues complaining a lot about hitting limits and they use Cursor. Recently they also seem to be dealing with poor results (context rot?) a lot, which I haven't really encountered yet.

I wonder if Claude Code is doing something smart/special
