I've heard this from many people, but I really haven't had this experience. Sonnet will write code that doesn't work, but Codex will give me working code basically every time. It does take longer, and it does think a lot, but I've never seen it go off the rails.

I do look at the backend code it writes, and it seems moderately sane. Sometimes it overcomplicates things, which makes me think that there are a few dragons in the frontend (I haven't looked), but by and large it's been ok.

Oh.

Not good enough for you?

It's just a different way of approaching the problem, and might partially explain the preference for Codex' style.
