Did Claude Code Just Kill ChatGPT Codex?

Clawed Code on the web just got

released. First major question is that

is this any better than Codeex or Cursor

AI? In addition, I'll show you how to

set this up and make sure you get the

most value out of it. So, if that all

sounds good, make sure to leave a like

right off the bat and let's jump in.

Welcome back, y'all. In this video,

we're going to be checking out Cloud

Code. If you want to get updates like

this as fast as possible, make sure to

check me out on X. Already did a whole

post on it, but I'm interested to see

this. Essentially, TLDDR, what's the use

case of this Corbin? You can code

anywhere. Idea being that you don't

necessarily have to have the code in

your IDE or your local computer. You

could in theory just connect to the

internet, put in a little request, and

then it's going to use cloud-based

services in order to push the relevant

code changes, which is cool. But

obviously, if anyone accesses your

Claude account, and they have access to

your repo, then your code's cooked. But

let's check it out. So, like any of

these AI coding platforms, we're going

to connect with GitHub. I'll make sure

to also leave a 40-minute guide of

everything you need to know about GitHub

in the description down below. As

obviously with all these little AI

coding bot things, you're going to need

to know how to use GitHub. It's a

fundamental skill you got to have in

this new age. In the vibe coding age,

authorized claude. So, first it's going

to prompt us with the level of security.

I'm going to go with trusted network

access. This is going to allow us to

download specific packages in order to

run applications. Although if you're

working with a real software's codes

repository, I would encourage you to

either choose custom access or no

network access as you are putting your

code at risk in theory by giving it the

ability to access the network. But in

reality, it might not be that deep in

your situation. I'm just saying from

experience, specifically when working

with real company code, there is usually

VPNs involved. Usually, you can only

access that code through a specific

network. But if none of that really

matters to you, then don't worry, just

go recommended. trusted network access.

Next, we're going to select our

repository. So, we got a bunch of

different options here. And in the short

term, it seems like it will only have

access to public repositories that are

currently associated with your account.

So, things like this public repo where I

built out an entire cloud skill, it has

direct access to, but I want to give

access to specific private repos. So,

I'm going to do install GitHub app. Now,

when installing it this way, now we have

the ability to granularize by the type

of repository or do all. For now, I'll

do all install and authorize. So, what

it does is when I do that, it takes me

back to the settings page, but let me

show you how to revoke access if needed.

So, going back over GitHub here, let's

just say you've used it and you're like,

Corbin, I absolutely hate cloud code.

Then all you need to do is come up here

to your settings. Also, make sure to

throw me a follow resource code every

single week. Just download my code

#freecode Corbin. Go to your settings

here, scroll down to where it says

applications, and you can see all the

relevant applications that are currently

integrated into my GitHub portfolio. Hit

configure. And then right here is simply

where we can change its specific access

or alternatively get out of my repo

cloud and uninstall it or suspend it.

Let's check it out though. We are going

to use test app here. Uh test app simply

is a repository that is a React app.

Literally just did one command of just

install a React front end and ended up

with this. And to be honest with you, I

don't even know why this is private. So

let me actually make this public real

quick. So I guess you'll learn something

real quick in GitHub. to make a

repository public. Go to settings,

scroll all the way down, change

visibility, change to public. I want to

make it public. And the reason I made it

public is you can simply come to my

profile here, description down below,

steal my code, find the repository that

says test app. You can download it

yourself and then do these little tests

that I'm about to show you. So once I

have it selected, here we have the

environment. The environment is

specifically where we set high-risk

variables. This right here is when your

application leverages different secret

variables or high-risisk variables like

API keys. For example, OpenAI's API key.

Maybe you have like a hybrid app that

uses Anthropic and OpenAI. You would

simply put the API key here. If in your

relevant code directory, you reference

it in your EMV, which I know I don't

have one here, but it's a test app, but

you know, or not. EMV.v,

you know, if you have any type of

high-risk variables there, you will

simply put there. If that only makes

sense, check out my courses here, and

I'll show you how to build out a

software from scratch. And when I say

courses, not like there's a payw wall.

YouTube has this new feature. If you go

to my profile and there's like a tab

called courses now, all of it's free and

it's lesson by lesson. I know courses

has like a really bad negative stigma

around it. So let's just call them learn

AI with me AI fun. So let's show off one

of its features here such as parallel

task. So I'll go and show this in the

test app here. I'm going to first

request dark UI. Second, I'm going to

request this counter go up by two and

down by two every time I press this

button. So boom. And then I'll be like,

okay, this is going off. make UI dark.

Boom. Again, so what this is essentially

doing is it allows for parallel task.

And then what each task will do is try

to create its own PR. Obviously, we can

enable notifications as well. So if you

want to just be scrolling through X or

check me out on X, you can enable this.

So I'll enable it. Essentially, what's

going on here is we are creating two

separate sandbox environments. What I

mean by sandbox environment is it's

installing all the relevant dependencies

required to run your application. And

when I say dependencies, I'm referring

to your package.json here. Everything

that's required to actually run and

render your application, it's creating a

little bubble for it to run it in just

for safety reasons and so that it

doesn't get a little crazy and it can

run this in a cloud environment. So once

this is going, we have two separate

parallel tasks going. Obviously, I

wouldn't set this up so that when you

use this, these parallel tasks are

counterintuitive. And what I mean by

that is, for example, this task was

create dark UI and then we put another

task that says create light UI. You

might as well pair that up into one type

of task. So your prompt is more meaty up

here rather than just two separate. So

once a task is complete here, you can

notice it as create PR. So I'm click

that. And because it has access to a

specific repository here, I can simply

say create pull request. I know some of

you are like Corbin, what about your

comparison with codeex and cursor? I'm

going to get there. I'm going to get

there. Let me just show you the

fundamentals. We get a nice little

description here. modify counter button

increase decrease by two. Nice create

pull request. No conflicts and I can

merge it for merge. I'm going delete the

branch and then fundamentally we just

got our first commit ever done with

cloud code and merged into our main

little app here. Obviously to pull this

into our local code I'll simply do get

most recent code from GitHub or you do

like a git pull origin main. But it

seems like nowadays we can literally

just talk to the AI and it'll do it all

for us. We don't need to know git

commands anymore. It's fun. Or are we

getting dumber? I don't know. So then

next we have this still going. So we got

the UI was a create PR right here. It's

outlining everything that changed here.

Nice. Create pull request. And this kind

of gets into the second thing I wanted

to talk about which is this can be quite

excessive for small changes to do a PR

every single time. So I'm going merge

this real quick again. Delete branch.

That's fine. We're going to see the

changes pretty soon here. But notate

that. Understand that when using cloud

code here, okay, yeah, if it's going to

be a small bug fix, fix the bug. Fix it.

But if you're doing something bigger,

then I would leverage more meaty prompts

and jive down a bigger rabbit hole when

leveraging this little chat feature

right here. So obviously I don't have to

create the PR yet, but we can create

iterations of this and keep talking to

Claude until we are satisfied with the

results. And of course, again, you could

in theory create the PR right now and

then not merge it and then create

iterations with reply to Claude. So I'm

going to pull the most recent code again

because we just merged two different

PRs. There we go. You'll know it's

successfully merged when you see this

little thing right here. Hit commits.

You can see it's getting pulled here. I

say pull is just grabbing the code. So

perfect. Coming back over to our

counter. We have a dark UI. Plus two

minus two minus two minus two plus two

plus two. I'm a robot. 0 0 1 1 0 0

binary.

Nice. But how does it compare to the

other coding platforms? If you already

find yourself entrenched in the clawed

ecosystem, then yeah, you can leverage

this. Here are some things that this

doesn't have that Codex has though. What

Codex has, and I'm actually going to

release a video here pretty soon, so

make sure to subscribe here of how to

upgrade Codeex is it has something

called versions and it has something

called code review. Here's a TLDDR of

what that means. Essentially, versions

allows you to do, hey, I want a dark

theme. It gives you three different

versions of that for your front end.

Three different little code differences,

right? What does code review mean? It is

extremely dope. Literally, you do at@cex

in the PR and then Chad GBT will check

your PR and point out bugs or situations

that could break your application. A

whole another video is coming out on

that. So, just subscribe here. It should

be coming out literally tomorrow, I'm

pretty sure, after this one. So, where

does that leave us with which tool to

use to be honest with you, it's

diversified. Eg. We use the tools that

work best for whatever part of the

pipeline of your software development

you are currently in. So for example, if

you absolutely love claude, I love cla

code here. Or in theory, our base level

could be okay local code, I work in the

cursor IDE. When I'm mobile, maybe don't

want to pull out my cursor IDE, I use

cloud code. And when I push a PR, I use

codeex to review that code. And then

obviously it all just shows up here and

you have your fresh new application. Let

me know in the comments if you want me

to dive into a video that really shows

you how to use every single one of these

tools in the most effective way because

in reality it's not a one-sizefitit all

situation. But without further ado, as

you already know with these style of

videos, make sure you leave a like. It

is completely free. I'll see you in the

next. Why do I feel like in one or two

weeks, Claude Code is also going to come

off a new ability that does code review.

So then everything you watch in this

video, you're going to be like, Corbin,

hey, do you know, by the way, that Codex

is not the only one that can do code

review, but so can Claude. Well, my bad.

I posted this video two weeks before

type of video. Nice.
