Dev compares coding agents: Claude runs 12h solo while Codex ships 1M unit tests and a critical bug
willdepue · x · 2026-10-24
willdepue shares hands-on impressions of coding agents: astra/sol occasionally shine with wild technical chops, but Claude can be left alone for 12 hours and return great results, while Codex 'wrote its 1 millionth unit test and shaved its 10,000th yak' yet still leaves a critical bug. He complains that agents get lost, the app stalls his goals, and they dump giant unreadable .txt reports that get crushed in a tiny markdown panel turning 5-column tables into 150px.
