I’m a heavy Claude code user and it’s pretty clear they’re starting to bend under their vibe coding. Each Claude code update breaks a ton of stuff, has perf issues, etc.

And then this. They want to own your dev workflow and for some reason believe Claude code is special enough to be closed source. The react TUI is kinda a nightmare to deal with I bet.

I will say, very happy with the improvements made to Codex 5.3. I’ve been spending A LOT more time with codex and the entire agent toolchain is OSS.

Not sure what anthropic’s plan is, but I haven’t been a fan of their moves in the past month and a half.

Same, codex 5.3 was able to solve a problem that I personally was stuck on even with help from Claude for the last 2 weeks.

Yeah, I can feel it too, it _mostly_ works but.. feels like it needs a rewrite.

for example Amp "feels" much better. Also like in Amp how I can just send the message whenever and it doesn't get queued

* I know, lots of "feels" in there..

I switched to Codex 5.3 too, it's cheaper also anyway and as dumb as it sounds, Scam Altman is actually the less annoying CEO compared to Amodei which is kind of an achievement. Amodei really looking more and more like some huckster giving these idiotic predictions to the press.

Codex has been useless for me on standard Plus plan unfortunately. Actually thoroughly disappointed. And VS code integration is totally broken.

I'm not sure why I'm getting downvoted, but VS Code integration really does stink. Often times it will just simply not send the API request and just say reconnecting and I've had it simply freeze where the VS Code OpenAI Codex plugin has frozen, but all the other plugins like Cline or Roo are working perfectly fine. So the VS Code integration is almost unusable in my experience.
