I have been using ChatGPT to help me with my code for a few years now, but I'm wondering if I should jump to Claude for actual productivity. ChatGPT has been very helpful in many ares, but I also believe it drops the ball fairly often, even generating deprecated code that has been deprecated for a few years.
To those of you who use AI coding tools in your day to day job? What are you using? If you use Claude, is it worth paying for it just for coding?
@andy you can use Clude A LOT for free. I pay $20 a month for CLI and that’s plenty for my personal projects. Frankly I take the “timeouts” as notice “it’s time to go outside and touch grass now.”
You can also use Gemini A LOT for free. Just use the web interface. The Gemini CLI is a bit more aggressive than Claude (it WILL rewrite your code, it WILL delete files without asking) but I like to play them off each other. “My developer wrote this, please review,” works great.
