I have a new appreciation for the Claude Code CLI after using Codex for like 5 minutes.

It is…not good. Opencode is nice. But codex has some work to do.

Kind of wild honestly, like its significantly worse from an initial experience. Haven't used OpenCode in quite a while, but I use @commandcode.ai when my CC subscription runs out of usage.

the cool thing about codex is they’re fine with you using their subscription with other harnesses (like opencode, or even claude code) - will have to check out the other!

Ya I have seen a lot online right now of using Fable as the orchestrator and GPT 5.5 xhigh as the implementors and stuff like that. I am not quite at that level right now haha. Command Code works really well and they have done a lot of harness engineering to make all the open models awesome.

What a time to be alive - I think back on some of the toil in my start up days haha, but that was the edge I guess!
