Riley Brown Still Picks Codex Over ChatGPT Work
Riley Brown says he still relies on Codex with GPT-5.6 Sol for document creation and app building, despite trying ChatGPT Work. He argues that coding and knowledge work are too intertwined to separate across tools.
Codex’s advantage appears to be workflow continuity, not just coding quality. The post highlights why a unified, developer-first workspace can beat a broader knowledge-work interface.
- –Remote access keeps local projects and environments central to the workflow
- –Coding agents naturally bridge implementation, research, documentation, and product iteration
- –ChatGPT Work may broaden access, but separating it from code creates context-switching costs
- –OpenAI’s shared agentic harness suggests the real opportunity is merging Work’s breadth with Codex’s depth
