Why it matters
Here's something I learned the hard way: the best AI tool isn't the one with the most features. It's the one that explains what it's doing. When I first started coding with AI assistants, I'd get suggestions that looked correct but fell apart the moment I tested them. Claude was the first tool that walked me through the reasoning — not just the answer, but how it arrived there. That changed how I work.
For for personal projects, the same rule applies. You want a tool that gives you a workflow, not just a result. Something you can repeat, debug, and improve over time — not a black box you have to trust.
