It's clearly because they didn't hire me after I applied :)

In all seriousness, I use Codex for work and Claude at home, and I feel like nowadays they're actually pretty competitive with each other. I don't know that it's that far behind.

I agree that they clearly erroneously assumed that no one would be able to catch up with them, though. OpenAI had such a head start that that should have been by itself a moat.

Does it matter that codex is now as good as claude code?

Check dev spaces like twitter and discord and all anyone talks about is claude-code, openclaw, opus 4.6 etc.

The mindshare went to anthropic.

Yea. In my opinion the value provided for 20$ is better. I wonder how much of antropic value is the hype around claude code coming from every snake oil sales man promoting claude code as best to use with open claw to summarize your emails.
