74% on isolated tasks, 3.75% on real freelance work - that gap terrifies me. I've been comparing Claude Code vs Codex for 2 months, and it's exactly this. Both tools crush benchmarks. Neither handles the chaos of actual development.

The context switching between coding, debugging, error handling, and context recovery - that's where they fail. Benchmarks test one thing. Real work tests fourteen.

Curious what you think the next frontier is. Is it task integration, or do we need a fundamentally different approach?
