Please stop expecting every engineer on the team to be an ai engineer just to get started with coding agents
If you are using literally any of Claude Code’s features the experience isn’t close, and regardless of model preference (Claude is my least favorite model by far) you should probably use Claude code. It’s just a much more extensible product for teams.
Losing access to GPT 5 Pro is also a big hit… it is by far the best for reading full files/repos and creating plans (though it also by far has the worst out of the box tooling)
Codex writes higher quality code, but is slower and less feature rich. I imagine this will change within months. The jury is still out. Exciting times!
Maybe CC users haven’t figured out how to parallelize their work because it’s fast enough to just wait or be distracted, and so the Codex waiting seems unbearable.
I suggest everyone who can to try the voice mode. https://getvoicemode.com/
At the moment though I also code on and off with an agent. I’m not ready or willing to only vibe code my projects. For one is the fact that I had tons of examples where the agent gaslighted me only to turn around at the last stage. And in some cases the code output was to result focused and didn’t think about the broader general usage. And sure that’s in part because I hold it wrong. Don’t specify 10million markdown files etc. But it’s a feedback loop system. If I don’t trust the results I don’t jump in deeper. And I feel a lot of developers have no issue with jumping ever deeper. Write MCPs now CLIs and describe projects with custom markdown files. But I think we really need both camps. Otherwise we don’t move forward.
IMO the best advice in life is try not to be fearful of things that happen to everyone and you can't change.
Good news! What you are afraid of will happen, but it'll happen to everyone all at once, and nothing you can do can change it.
So you no longer need to feel fear. You can skip right on over to resignation. (We have cookies, for we are cooked)
