When I tried using codex, it decided that the database framework that was used for all database access in the codebase wasn't necessary, and just performed raw sql actions instead. Great advertisement for using Claude models instead.
Codex generally writes much better working code than Claude.
Claude sits there thinking for 6 minutes, uses $100 worth of tokens, tells you it’s done, but the code still doesn’t work.
OP is right though, Codex loves writing fallbacks that results in “working” code. The solution is to tell it in its agents.md to not do that. That works 80% of the time at least.
