Codex Adopted as Primary Coding Assistant
dfinke · x · 2026-07-15
A user reports switching to **OpenAI Codex** as their primary coding assistant, replacing GitHub Copilot, for the following reasons: - **Higher usage limits**: Codex offers significantly more available capacity compared to Copilot or Claude. - **Better experience**: Reviewers noted it "delivered on ideas, features, and cheaper results," explicitly stating that Copilot's performance has been lacking recently. - - **Advantages may be temporary**: The original poster cautioned that another harness or workflow solution might overtake it as early as next month.
