Codex and Claude Code can already run a parent-child agent workflow end to end

A developer says Codex + Claude Code is already capable of taking over a real engineering workflow end-to-end.
- He used Codex to build a BitBrowser multi-proxy pool + yt-dlp system for tracking YouTube AI KOLs.
- Claude Code reviewed Codex’s execution plan, found major flaws, and Codex then fixed issues while also correcting Claude.
- After several back-and-forth rounds, he stopped micromanaging and told Codex to lead the task itself, keep the communication log, and use a parent-child agent setup until completion.
- His takeaway: when he constrained the agents from his own perspective, he became the bottleneck; letting them operate more freely let them go much further.
