I've spent the last year building an app with Claude Code without knowing how to code. I'm still surprised at how much it gets wrong, even on the newest models. What makes it work for me is describing exactly what I want and then actually checking everything it gives back.

For me, I just don't trust Claude Code to write first-class professional code. I have used all frontier claude models and it always does sloppy job that needs to be fixed by codex. I have claude/codex setup and any execution must go to codex and all reviews as well.

Similar here. I use Claude Code and Codex for developing specs, but then have Deepseek v4 Pro implement because it just seems to actually do what it's told, given enough tries. And Reasonix + Deepseek is mostly cache hits when I let it grind on it for a long time, and I can have a huge fleet of agents with very specific focus for code review and rule enforcement mostly sharing cache.
