I am not a professional coder. However, I have typically seen people respond more favorably to Code compared to other systems including Codex (percentage-wise). I'm curious to know what exactly you feel is inferior?

On the other hand, recently for me, the usage limits in Claude have been inconsistent and frustrating. I seem to get a lot less out of it than I have in the past and am considering trying one of the other big 3 sub plans to see whether it suits my use case more.

Interested in hearing whether you think this accurately captures the state of affairs.

>It makes sense for companies to show Wall Street that they understand the assignment: adapt or die. It matters less whether a company knows how to deploy A.I. and more whether investors believe it is on track to do so. In that respect, it doesn’t matter whether a company’s stated rationale is sincere or not. Once it announces it is cutting jobs for A.I., the remaining workers have no choice but to buy into that vision.

this is how it works sadly. Short term optics for mid-term pain (most likely)

It's not just the misleading "average" that is problematic. USA Today "reporting" on a "report" by Empower where you find this:

The numbers below reflect Empower Personal DashboardTM users as of October 2025, with the average and median net worth of these individuals, broken down by age. *(These figures are not identical to, nor directly comparable with, representative national data from the Survey of Consumer Finances from the Fed.)*

To elaborate on comments below; I agree that the correct term is "dark patterns". And, one common form of dark pattern is to increase "friction" - to slow down or make more difficult what the user is trying to do (or in other cases, reduce friction "buy now, pay later").
