People keep saying this, but I’m not sure I buy it.

I was using both Codex and Claude Code heavily on some projects this weekend.

In one project Codex was screwing everything up and in another one absolutely killing it. I’ve seen the same from Claude.

In the bad Codex example it had the wrong idea and kept trying to figure out how to accomplish the same thing no matter how many times I attempt to correct it. Undoing the recent changes where it went down the wrong path was the only way to get things back on track.

I wonder if context poisoning is a bigger problem than people realize.
