I’m looking to settle on one primary AI coding agent and I’m torn between OpenAI Codex and Claude Code. I’ve seen conflicting takes on which is better for actual "agentic" engineering versus just being a fancy autocomplete. To give some context on my setup, my primary stack is TypeScript and React. My primary environment is VS Code and Cursor. Mainly working with microservices focused on refactoring complex logic. Appreciate any advice.
I think software developers need to learn this Claude Code. It has really changed my way of doing coding. But I am wondering if I am not missing on Codex. What do you suggest which one is better?
