alt Hacker NewsThis is why I happily use Codex.
I run it basically 24/7 on a ~500k line repo, and only rarely run out of quota before the end of the week.
My experience with Claude Code was very good until about 2.5 months ago, and then it suddenly turned unbelievably terrible for me.
I have not and will hopefully never look back.
I still have PTSD from how ungodly terrible it was that last week of using it.

Can you be more specific about what “unbelievably terrible” means?
This has been my experience as well. Something happened 2-3 months ago with Claude Code. It got slower, starting spinning and getting stuck more and more. I gave codex another shot out of my Claude frustrations, and have never looked back again.
Just tried Claude Code yesterday, and nope, it's the same old bad.
> I still have PTSD from how ungodly terrible it was
Please, for the sake of everyone suffering from actual PTSD: Don't. It's hard enough already for victims to communicate what difficulties they are facing without people watering down terminology like that.
