Still in the honeymoon phase with gpt-codex

  codex -m gpt-5-codex -c model_reasoning_effort="high" 

it’s my current favorite, with claude-code as runner-up.

As someone with aphantasia[1] I naturally lean toward backend / abstract modeling ( maps, technology radars, databases ) , so non-visual tools like codex-cli, claude-code, or even https://omarchy.org/ are especially appealing. I haven’t yet seen a technology radar that makes a visual vs. non-visual distinction. If you ever run a survey, adding such a category could be interesting - surprising patterns might emerge.
