alt Hacker NewsThe OP seems unaware that Claude had a lead in this space and captured market share and attention for that reason alone.
The test they (supposedly) ran with their coworkers to look at PRs from both is such a bad way to compare LLMs that I don’t think they’re very experienced with using them.

I remember using GitHub Copilot (OpenAI "Codex" mk1) in Aug 2021 (ChatGPT would launch a year later 2 weeks after Meta's botched Galactica release). Cursor & others took it and ran a mighty good race.

Claude had a lead for a few weeks. When Codex launched it was better and it has been (marginally, yes, but still) better since.
It's marketing
