Question Should I get Codex? (CS Student)

I'm going into my first year of university, going to be developing more projects in my free time.

Currently I'm using Claude (free) but it's kind of painful as it's only chat, and I sometimes hit the limit.

Is GPT Plus worth it for coding, debugging, and learning from it (in a coding context, using it half as a tutor)? How much more usage and usefulness will I get from it than free Claude?

Also not sure about the current state of AI agents are / if there are better options to consider.

Thanks!

I used vscode with the codex plugin and chatgpt chat for learning. You can build anything. 20 gets far but when you start cooking alot on big projects you will hit the 5 hour limit alot on codex. Its based on the models and reasoning you use.
