I’ve got the equivalent of writers block but for building with AI.
I have a product, that I just keep putting off for the lack of inspiration I’m getting.
closing the week with a real one. if you had to delete either claude code or codex off your machine forever, which one goes. no it depends, no fence sitting, actually pick one and defend it. im curious where this lands because i cant decide either
weird thing about both tools getting computer use and phone control is the unit of work changed. used to be a function or a file. now its a whole task you hand off and forget about. we stopped measuring in lines and started measuring in errands
long enough in to admit half my gain from claude code and codex isnt the ai being brilliant. its that i stopped context switching to stack overflow every ten minutes. the tool kept me in my own editor and that alone changed more than any feature did
shipped a feature today that was basically me, claude code, and codex passing the same branch back and forth. claude code for the messy reasoning, codex for the cleanup passes. felt less like coding and more like running a tiny team that never argues with me
