I was luke-warm about codex when I tried it 2-3 months ago, but just recently tried it again last week, running it against claude code, both of them running against the same todo list to build a docusign-like web service. I was using loops of "Look at the todo list and implement the next set of tasks" for the prompt (my prompt was ~3 sentences, but basically saying that):

    - Codex required around 30 passes on that loop, Claude did it in ~5-7.
    - I thought Codex's was "prettier", but both were functional.
    - I dug into Claude's result in more depth, and had to fix ~5-10 things.
    - Codex I didn't dig into testing quite as deeply, but it seemed to need less fixing.  Still not sure if that is because of a more superficial view.
    - Still a work in progress, have not completed a full document signing workflow in either.
