Claude writes the code, Codex reviews it, and the trust goes up
Code from one AI is hard to trust blind. This developer runs a Docker harness where Claude writes and Codex reviews, works in it most of the day, and open-sourced it as moarcode.

Result Open-sourced as moarcode
“It has rough edges for sure, but it means I trust the code coming out much more than I did just Claude.”
Spotted: found in the wild. Details are as reported by the source above and have not been independently verified.
What they did
Wrote a Dockerfile and instructions so that Claude writes code while Codex reviews it, and published the setup as an open-source project called moarcode.
How it went
The developer spends most of the day in this harness. It has rough edges, but they trust the code coming out of it much more than code from Claude alone.

After $45 in GitHub Actions overage in one month, a solo founder put an idle homelab to work as CI runners, with Claude making it easy to set up. Daily spend dropped from $2-4 a day to under $0.25.
A first homemade synth has 36 hall-effect keys and buttons and 7 rotary encoders. The firmware started by hand, then gentle prodding at Claude got everything needed much faster. Rev 2 of the PCB is nearly done.
Working on a Quake project, Claude decided on its own to build a test suite: demo playbacks with snapshots compared pixel by pixel, plus recorded demos whose screenshots it checked for each element.
Building their first AWS project by vibe coding, the writer designed the architecture and let Codex write the code. A flawed first design took a day, against an estimated three or four; the redesign also took a day and scaled.
After building a minimal proof assistant, the writer asked Claude how they knew the prover was actually sound. Claude checked, found five different ways it could prove false theorems, and fixed them.
Four years after shelving a homemade RSS reader and selling off its $500 domain, the writer built it this year with Codex and Claude. They use it daily, along with 30 other strangers who found it public.
