For those who aren’t familiar - Enshittification :
a process in which two-sided online products and services decline in quality over time Claude Code was not perfect but it was undoubtedly better than the competition. With Codex having the advantage of being much more strict with planning and following instruction, Gemini CLI being super accurate but overall Claude Code being the fastest, most mature one with a great LLM model backing it up. The last week was a clear turning point. There wasn’t any improvement on the other products but boy did Anthropic dial down the performance of Claude Code. I’m not sure if they intended to in order to tune their operational costs, or this is just an unintended result of releasing something. But Claude Code has been slower than all the rest - my team has been regularly waiting for 7 minutes for Claude to respond, often times with partial response like changing a couple of files and then asking which approach would I preferred to pursue. The reasoning level is terrible, we find ourselves keep reminding the agent what it was doing or why its idea won’t work. We’re trying to switch between context window size and effort levels but combined with stupid slow response time there’s no doubt Codex and Gemini CLI are becoming more attractive than ever.
