my suspicion is that much (or at least some) of the negative sentiment towards claude code is from folks that were on it early (when code was even more widely used than codex) and created intensive workflows using it. when anthropic tightened quotas to make it more equitable across plan users they were much more likely to be impacted.

this is obviously pure conjecture, but perhaps the OE folks had automated their multiple roles and now they need to be more involved.

Eh, honestly I had some health issues since the vibe coding craze started. Normally I'm one of the people that try things like that out - mostly cuz I don't actually have any hobbies beyond coding and generally find such things funny.

As I got better round June/July I finally found the energy to try it out. It was working incredibly well at the time. It was so fun (for me), that I basically kept playing with it every day after finishing work. So for roughly 1.5 months basically every free minute each day, along with side explorations during work hours when I could get away with it.

Then I had to take another business trip mid August, when I finally came back in September it was unrecognizable - and from my perspective, it definitely hasn't recovered to how ultrathink+opus performed back then.

You can definitely still use it, but you need to take a massively more hands-on approach.

At least my opinion is not swayed by their reduced quota ... But to stay in line with the sentiment analysis this article is about - neither have I tried Codex to this point. Which I will, eventually.
