I've only played with Codex for a couple of days (compared to months with Claude Max). My hot take: Codex is very capable if you tell it exactly what to do. Claude anticipates what you want and is friendlier and more transparent in what it does. Will test more. 🤖

Yeah, it's very literal. Ask it to compare files or branches, and you get an unhelpful list of facts without any opinions. Do the same with Claude, and it will list key differences in various areas, along with pros/cons.

Claude is surprisingly good at Zig when given the right input.

I've been experimenting with a /zig command in Claude Code that searches popular Zig projects for idioms, patterns, and pitfalls.

It currently scans local checkouts of:

- Zig itself
- TigerBeetle
- Ghostty
- Bun

The results so far are great! ⚡️
