Ask HN: What's the absolute best AI code assistant for creating software

3 pointsby prmph3 months ago
Just as the title says: In your experience, what&#x27;s the absolute best AI code assistant for creating (as opposed to editing) software?<p>I&#x27;ve been disappointed in most or pretty much all of them. Either they require you to create an account immediately, or even require payment up-front, before you have any idea of their capabilities. And almost all of them fall down flat when you try to get them to generate code of any realistic complexity and scope.<p>What have you had success with, and what&#x27;s the most complex thing you have built with them? Any tips for prompting?

Deepseek R1 is reportedly able to 1-shot a flappy bird clone in Python, did you try it?
