It’s funny because at work we have paid Codex and Claude but I rarely find a use for it, yet I pay for the $200 Max plan for personal stuff and will use it for hours!

So I’m not even in the “it’s useless” camp, but it’s frankly only situationally useful outside of new greenfield stuff. Maybe that is the problem?

Why do you find it useless for legacy code? I find I have to give it plenty of context but it does pretty well on legacy code.

And Ask DeepWiki is a great shortcut for finding the right context… Granted this is open source and DW is free.

Is it the specific nature of your work?
