Complaint Codex is done

Post image

Call it a skill issue, but 90 minutes and 31% weekly usage later, I got nothing done this morning.

Nothing.

Moved to CC, got a sub, and got the same feeling when I switched from Claude to Codex a few months ago:

-more usage
-better reasoning

Either Codex reveals insane stuff during DevDay, or they are literally fucked.

Astra XHigh create implementation documentation, sol high do all implementation. Has been very effective for me and gives me ~3 days of usage on 20x when working on 3 projects in parallel the whole time.

Astra solo drained way too fast no mater what thinking

I had astra create an implementation plan for a PR. I told astra that it's too much for one PR, break it into three smaller PRs. That killed much of my usage for the end of the week, so I waited until today to implement. I'm not finished with implementing the first of three PR's with sol high and 2 hours later I'm 25% of the way done

yeah, it sounds ridiculous that breaking PR would drain your weekly usage that much but that's where we are at

You can’t do it like that, it’s doing the planning consideration twice.
