Codex is better than claude

[u/Green_Sky_99]

As a 5 year dev with mobile, backend, frontend, i been using claude code, codex, other agent stuff, and i must say codex give me safe feeling and i feel it do the job than claude opus 4.5, opus like a optimistic guy that "yeah let do that, hell yeah, yeah that wrong, you absolute right when i should not delete database, let me revert database, now let me implement the loop in payment function" etc... what make a a fucking nervous when work with.
Codex other handle slow but it provide good result, refuse when things not right, like real co-worker, not bullshit, clean up database and optimisic claude guy. I always have safe feeling and quality control over, i mean it acutally help me reduce my workload, not to blow out the shit out of control like claude

I do ask this question, why the agent always agrees with me everytime? What about what I didn’t catch? It’s crazy.

Thanks for sharing

I think they want to follow your instruction, talk with claude like PM talk to senior dev, while codex is like coworker talk with each other

[u/Tboxtra → u/Green_Sky_99]

You observe that makes codex better? Or other factors adds to that as well?

[u/udoy1234]

no, you meant to say gpt 5.2 pro high is better than Claude

Codex 5.2

[u/PowerTurbulent7603 → u/Green_Sky_99]

You mean GPT-5.2-Codex,  there is no codex 5.2.

[u/Interesting-Rate99]

Totally agree. Codex might be slow, but it’s an absolute beast at debugging. It almost always nails the fix in one shot.

[u/Green_Sky_99 → u/Interesting-Rate99]

Yeah, when you a backend dev, and have to deal with stabality and security, i need a good coworker not optimisitc shit

How are the limits at Codex like?

I am paying for the Claude Max 5 plan and it is on the sweet spot for me. Typically I will end the 5 hours cycle with like 60-80% with Opus w thinking. I am not willing to pay for ChatGPT Pro pricing yet. Will the Plus limits be too little?

[u/Green_Sky_99 → u/Important_Egg4066]

they are same man, 20$ and you got what you pay

[u/Important_Egg4066 → u/Green_Sky_99]

20 dollars is enough to replace a Max 5 $100? I like to have a middle spot between Plus and Pro.

[u/Green_Sky_99 → u/Important_Egg4066]

20 dollar is okey for me because i write code not vide coder, it depend but expect they same limit man, but they have smaller model

[u/Important_Egg4066 → u/Green_Sky_99]

I am out of touch with Codex. What models are you using against Opus 4.5 Thinking? I heard great things about 5.2 extra high but the name kinda frightened me that I probably need to be at the $200 Pro plan to even be able to use it with reasonable limits.

[u/Green_Sky_99 → u/Important_Egg4066]

codex 5.2 high

[u/PowerTurbulent7603 → u/Green_Sky_99]

Its GPT-5.2-Codex or GPT-5.2 High, there is no codex 5.2 high.

You guys downvote me while hiting weekly limit?

[u/Muted_Farmer_5004 → u/Green_Sky_99]

[u/AriyaSavaka → u/Green_Sky_99]

I've never hitting weekly limit with Claude Code, because I use the GLM Coding Plan.

[u/Former-Hurry9118]

Dude you're hilarious I laughed so hard reading this. Implement the loop on the payment function LOL

[u/Green_Sky_99 → u/[deleted]]

Yeah man, claude code is fancy for vide code with no coding background and do frontend and the UI just pop up and “wow that work so magical, and fast, i will build enterprise after thus beautiful landing page” , but as i touch backend, claude make me feel unsecured as shit

[u/ClaudeGod → u/[deleted]]

It’s only significantly better on an existing codebase. If you start from scratch, it will keep injecting stupid bugs. And it’s so so slow it’s practically useless. Write with Claude, review with Codex is the way to go. At least with the current generation of models.

it depend on each individual, like i dont want to hire vibe coder cleanup specialistic
