I tried building a small Python project recently with AI help, and it made the whole thing way less intimidating. Now I’m trying to figure out which AI coding assistant is actually worth sticking with. Claude is great at explaining concepts, GPT feels better at reasoning through tricky logic, and I’ve seen Sweep AI pop up for people who want project-level help directly inside JetBrains instead of switching back and forth with chat.
Which model or tool gave you the best balance between learning, accuracy, and speed? And do you feel like it improved your actual understanding of coding over time?
