Both Big AI Labs Built Tools for Programmers. "Coding Agents". Now They Are for You.
Anthropic and OpenAI both built agents to write software. Then they discovered they could do almost any job on a computer, and redesigned them. I will explain what coding agents actually are, why they matter, how they work, how Claude Code and Codex really differ, which one you should try first, and why the name 'coding agent' is very deceiving.
