Damnit, I just switched to Claude Code from Codex not two months ago, and now I'm going to have to find time to try this. For my purposes (and for context I am a not developer but a former PM using LLMs to build internal tools for my business), SOTA models all seem to be past the threshold of coding skill necessary, and now the harnesses are becoming the more important differentiating factor. Glad to see some healthy competition there, and specifically glad to see you've got automations in there, as I've specifically felt the lack of those in CC.
I feel you - I think fortunately the cost of switching isn't crazy, especially because skill are an open standard. I think you'll probably like this harness :)
I wonder what a cost analysis of these tools look like as compared to salary of devs? I burn a lot of tokens, but the productivity is so obvious, at least for me, that’s it’s just a cost of doing business at this point. I too miss the creative coding process, but it’s also super fun at the higher level of abstraction. Great post, I’ll have to try it now! Thanks!
Very interesting! I've been using Cursor for a while for my side project, but you inspired me to hook up my OpenAI API and test it!

I think this will be the biggest barrier to corporate adoption, especially as cost per token goes up
This was a good read. I'm getting a ton of joy out of codex - feels very much like the future of software development is not a terminal UI
Daniel: *Finally jumps aboard the chugging Claude Code train.*
Anthropic: How about that, but in a neat Cowork app?
Daniel: Yes please!
Anthropic: It's MacOS
Daniel: Oh...
OpenAI: Just wait till you see our new Codex app!
Daniel: YES PLEASE!
OpenAI: It's MacOS
Daniel: I'm starting to see a pattern here.
