I pay close attention to anything that can save me time. After reviewing my 2025 spending on generative AI, I made one big change.

I really wanted to believe in this free AI coding tool could replace Claude Code. But it isn't ready for prime time unless you're willing to babysit.

The latest release of Xcode, Xcode 26.3, extends support for coding agents, such as Anthropic's Claude Agent and OpenAI's Codex, helping developers tackle complex tasks and improve their productivity.
