Why? ratio53 6 minutes ago | next – At work we only have access to claude / kiro. I only use it via cli since I find this to be the most flexible setup as claude can find stuff anywhere, read, write and run programs etc. reply blinkbat 30 minutes ago | prev – claude - org pays for it. org used to pay for both, and i preferred codex back then ~3mo ago . i find claude to be significantly lazier or require significantly more guidance. it does, however, have better design and ui/ux intuition. reply Guidelines | FAQ | Lists | API | Security | Legal | Apply to YC | Contact
