On "Why Codex Builds The Wrong Thing"

Ahrefs is right to call out Codex's architectural flaws, but the real problem isn't that it builds the wrong thing—it's that most SEO tools treat "comprehensive" and "useful" as synonyms when they're not. A tool that catalogs everything about your backlink profile is only valuable if it helps you decide what to actually do about it. The takeaway for practitioners: demand clarity on what problem a tool solves before you get sold on feature breadth. Bloated schema beats actionable insight every time in marketing, never in practice.
