I gave the same bug to Claude Code, Codex, Antigravity, and their open-source rival — only one handled it like a pro

AI coding tools have made it easier for non-developers to create small projects, but debugging can be challenging. A designer noted that while they can see issues when re-rendering code, they don't know what's wrong underneath, highlighting the limitations of their coding knowledge.

Shopify CEO Tobi Lütke considered banning Claude Code due to a disagreement over configuration, specifically with Markdown files. According to Lütke, the issue arises from the need for coding agents to follow the same instructions across a large monorepo with thousands of developers. If agents don't pick up the same instructions, it can lead to problems.
