OpenAI gave me a month of free Pro usage the other day after logging into ChatGPT for the first time in a while, and I thought why not? So, got it setup and in my projects but continued my usual use of Claude. I hit my limits soon enough on Claude and after a while I realised I could use Codex. I don’t know if it is the promotion, but there have been no daily limits, just a week limit for what I was using. I decided to point it to the half finished plans from Claude - codex ate them, had superpowers chomping through no problem… Bug fixes, new features, architecture reviews… the amount of stuff I have been able to get through without Claude’s nonsense of breaking things, overdosing on credits, and sleeping for 5 hours, is like a breath of fresh air. Genuinely, I have a feeling of “we don’t have to live like this”. Full honesty: I am not a good dev at all (not even a dev), and trying my best to learn as I go along, so I can guarantee that 50% of my token wastage on Claude is my own doing, but the fact that it did the same plan quicker, better, simpler, was just amazing. I wasn’t answering 50 questions that seemed to go nowhere etc. Again, maybe I am awful at prompting but damn, now I see why some of you guys use both and strictly use Claude for execution. I am seriously thinking of doing the same after what I have experienced in the last 48 hours. I’ll leave Claude to sleep it off whilst me and codex get some actual work done, with all the bells and whistles of superpowers. I guess to make this post productive, does anyone have any thoughts on this and how I can get Claude back to a lean, mean fighting machine? Or is it genuinely the same for everyone as far as I can see. submitted by /u/Kaiross__
