alt Hacker NewsThe advantage is definitely not temporary as can be seen by how many people use codex vs Claude code. Claude code works just fine and I have zero issues at usability level. Could they have more features? Yes but I see that they are shipping quick. It is obvious to me that they took the right balance between time to market and clan code
These discussions are insane. No agentic coding product, including Claude Code, has existed for a full year yet, but people are stating with extreme confidence who has "won" the competition to be the leading or even only provider of this kind of product and having heated arguments over whether or not we can consider the current state of the market to be temporary or not. Imagine having this same argument about Lycos versus Yahoo! in 1995.
