Codex being faster is not at all equivalent to working better. Claude Code does what I need from it most of the time.

I said better, not faster. Primarily, it writes better code, works more smoothly, is better at describing what it's doing and what it's done.

Well, yes, but it was in response to a post mostly waxing lyrical about using rust instead of typescript, so forgive me if I got the wrong impression.

Also, that is so far outside my experience that I can’t tell if you are joking.

Codex seems to always do exactly what I ask of it, nothing more, and nothing less, and with as many shortcuts as possible.
