So much time wasted until I switched...

I am 78 years of age and retired. I was looking for a tech-based hobby and having very limited experience of web development, I thought I'd try my hand at vibe coding. I started work on an app in March (this year) using Google AI studio. After a couple of months hitting dead ends, strange messages and hallucinations, I moved to Claude.Things went well initially. But the bills kept rolling in, progress was expensive and painfully slow. So in June I bit the bullet and switched to Codex.Transferring the code was a quick and easy process, but the difference in terms of workflow was nothing short of amazing. It was a much smoother ride than either of the two other platforms - it was quick, efficient and cooperative. By the end of July I was 90% of the way there. In my experience, and with no experience of programming, Codex is a far superior product to either Claude or Google AI studio. Anyway, the app is now live and seems to be performing well. Next step is to develop the native versions, which I'm not looking forward to. Not making any money at the moment but it's still early days. If you're interested, here's the link: https://dinnerbydesign.app Comments welcome.
