MAX user here. When I started using Claude Code; I was blown away. Having been building with AI since 2022, this truly felt like an important moment in history. I have been recommending Claude Code into client builds, and pipelines. Singing its praises on social media, and through my personal relationships. However, given the current state of the model: Lazy Ignorant Degraded and Myopic I cannot in good faith continue recommending it, because it makes me look like I’m either stupid or full of shit or both. Codex, is doing literal circles around Claude. I can give them both the same prompt and Codex will see around corners, fix it’s own reasoning (Claude used to do this), and build the most incredibly well thought out plans, almost never getting mixed up. Claude Opus has been an absolute disaster the last few weeks; and we’re not even speaking the usage debacle. Truly disappointed. submitted by /u/-becausereasons-
