David decided: claude code and codex are interchangeable seats

David moves between AI coding agents based on repo state, usage limits, and which tool can keep working.


claude code and codex are two command-line coding agents David uses against the same repos. the important object is not the brand of the model; it is the workspace, the current production state, the deploy boundary, and the evidence trail.

his transcripts show him swapping seats when one tool hits limits, gets stuck, or needs a different permission posture.

this is not tool fandom. it is an operating model: keep the work moving, keep the repo path correct, and do not make him become the manual glue between agents.
