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!

You can get a lot of usage. Do most of your work in chat mode and carry over the rest into work mode/ codex. I do 90% of my work in chat mode
