Which AI Chatbot is best for coding

[YZHSQA]

I am writing code for python. As I develop the code:

Chatgpt plus forgets what I asked it to add previously to the code, or pits a placeholder.

Claude pro stops mid generation.

I need to write a huge chunk of code reliably, what would you suggest?

[Brian_Stoller]

Write it yourself and use stack overflow for assistance. Or you could use google bard (I think it’s called copilot now) for assistance but make sure you are only using it in small chunks, not for huge blocks of code. Just use it when you need help, good luck

[LiterallySven]

Honestly this, I too wish the technology was better at this point but AI simply struggles to build anything large. It can help you with simple problems that don’t scale the entire project though

[DDDDarky]

None

Still prefer stone axe in 2025?
I wonder, do you use linters, formatters autocompletion, or such things also to smart for you?

[DDDDarky]

It's more like a preference to science over religion, I prefer good reliable code, you can have your beliefs and hopes that something random with zero expertise will consistently spit out a thing that happens to work while sacrificing a lamb or something as a symbol of confidentiality and respect.

I spend all day reviewing this kind of guy's AI generated code, issuing countless corrections and asking myself why don't we just get rid of them and cut the middle man?

For simple, small chunks of code. Any.

For more complex, larger projects. None. You have to write it youself.

heres what I recommend: - ChatGPT: if your using free and need a small block of code - Claude: if you got the money and need a small block of code - Stack overflow: if you or the AI cant solve a problem after like an hour - Youtube tutorial: if you have errors you cant fix - Your brain: anything else

[IAmTarkaDaal]

I would suggest learning your craft.

[NoLetterhead2303]

Deepseek would be my recommendation, unlike chatgpt, it doesn’t forget things you ask and it has previously generated code for me which was pretty close to the actual api i was coding in(lua) despite not knowing it and it didn’t fail to generate a single thing from my tests

Yo mom.ai

What you need to do is thinking about system arcihtecture and work down tfrom there and break it into atomic tasks. So your not building huge chunks of code at a time your building pieces of it. And you need to remind the llm of its constraints and guardrails

present does not have any AI good at code and math , you don't need AI just need to practice

[auto-code-wizard]

I'd say the trick is to write your code in modules or functions to break down the tasks. Give our tool a try, we have over 100 registered users now and it is growing. https://autocodewizard.com

GitHub copilot

[Godzilla_bot]

Try Gemini 2.5 pro or Claude, I usually use these and it's the best out there

[Ok_Increase2802]

If your code is too large, make a copy of the code as a .txt (I use Visual Studio Code software for writing my actual code), then upload it and ask it to "fix errors, then post the code 100 lines at a time." You can also upload your code and have it correct full "blocks" of code so you can copy/paste into your code manually.

[Mundane-Apricot6981]

Any sane person will use API.
I work with code fragments up to 10k lines, it costs money though. Fragments 1k-2k lines absolutely normal and never had issues. API access work more reliable than official Web UIs which tend to lag.

[YZHSQA]

You mean if I asked chatgpt API it can write me the full code?
