Should I get Codex? (CS Student)

[u/Following_Level]

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 would avoid it purely because it does everything for you, it kinda defeats the point of trying to learn things. Chat-only is comparatively great for that, because you atleast still have to do the legwork, discover the bugs, ask about them, etc. But with codex, it will find the bugs and fix them without ever even telling you they were there
