carlosdponx · x · 2026-08-07
After heavy usage, the author compares the automation features of Claude Code and OpenAI Codex Desktop. They find Codex's automations overly complicated and clunky, noting that limitations like targeting only pinned threads often result in dozens of new threads spawning overnight and dispersing context. In contrast, the condition-based 'wait' process used by Claude Code and other harnesses offers a much smoother experience, concluding that mixing tools is still necessary for best results.
