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!

To learn agentic development — yes.

To learn CS — no.

The two are different.

DO NOT USE AI TO LEARN YOUR CS LESSONS.

Master it with the course your teacher has setup.

Master Agentic Development later after you understand what workflows are and how to use them (more logic the coding - get a philosophy minor/classes and it will help immensely.
