Valid as well. I guess I'm just nitpicking based on how much I see people saying these models aren't useful combined with seeing this example, triggered my "you're doing it wrong" mode :D
> GPT-5-Codex allows me to write a pretty quick & dirty prompt, yet still get VERY good results.
I have a reputation with family and co-workers of being quite verbose - this might be why I prefer Claude (though haven't tried Codex in the last month or so). I'm typically setting up context and spending a few minutes writing an initial prompt and iterating/adjusting on the approach in planning mode so that I _can_ just walk away (or tab out) and let it do it's thing knowing that I've already reviewed it's approach and have a reasonable amount of confidence that it's taking an approach that seems logical.
I should start playing with codex again on some new projects I have in mind where I have an initial planning document with my notes on what I want it to do but nothing super specific - just to see what it can "one shot".
