joshbickett explains he stays on Codex rather than chasing competing coding tools: a 5% capability edge doesn't justify constant context switching, and his context-rich long-running sessions make him more productive. He expects Codex to catch up within a week — a window into how session context, not raw model capability, drives tool stickiness for agent users.
