At this point I think it’s more important to have a solid workflow and understanding of how [insert your favorite model here] works and its capabilities, than chasing the next shinny release jumping back and forth between companies. I just finished my first large project with Codex and it is hard for me to believe Claude can be much better. It may be a bit better or worse, but again, they are all so good now that the user is the one driving the difference.

Yeah none of this is new if you've been working in this industry for a while

We've always been having these debates over whether my choice of tech is better than your choice of tech, same holy wars, different type of tech

The advice today is the same as it was 10/20/30+ years ago, pick what works for you and build something good with it

Nobody will actually care how you built it, regardless of whether its good or crap (although if it's crap you can blame your tools)

> jumping back and forth between companies

There is currently quite strong incentive to establish vendor lock-in for Anthropic and OpenAI. I see the ability to jump between companies quite important, especially for larger users. Right now it should not be hard but it can be much harder in the future.
