I spent time on a setup before realizing the bottleneck wasn’t the editor, but how I was using it. By switching the heavy thinking to Claude Code and keeping my editor for quick edits, the difference was immediate: fewer context resets, fewer “oops, wrong file” moments, and a workflow that felt closer to how I … Read more
Stop using ChatGPT for code review — use an actual security workflow instead. AI is not just speeding up vulnerability work; it’s splitting the old culture in two. One camp still treats review as a human craft exercise. The other is already using models to triage, explain, and sometimes even spot issues faster than a … Read more
It’s late, the agent loop has rewritten the same schema file multiple times, and the only thing moving faster than frustration is the suggestion box. That’s the real shape of the github copilot vs cursor debate: not “which AI is smarter,” but which tool fails in a way you can live with when the codebase … Read more
I used to think a notion ai workflow was mostly hype. Then I spent time using it as the front door for drafts, task capture, and cleanup, and the boring part got noticeably faster. My daily setup is Cursor for code, Claude for the spec, Linear for the queue, and Notion as the place where … Read more
It’s 2am. The agent loop has already mangled my track layout twice, and now it’s confidently naming clips I never asked it to touch. That’s the strange promise of ableton live mcp: you can finally let a model reach into a DAW, but the second it crosses from “helpful” into “operating your session,” the failure … Read more
I gave the same 12-step refactor to Cursor, Claude Code, and Cline and watched what each one missed. On a real codebase, the difference wasn’t style; it was how many edits survived the first review and how much cleanup was still left after the agent said it was done. 1. The part the press release … Read more
Stop using ChatGPT for code review if you want fewer polished hallucinations and more useful edits. Claude usually gives you the cleaner first pass, while ChatGPT often feels more like a fast-talking generalist that needs tighter steering. 1. Where Claude stops sounding like marketing 2. Where ChatGPT still earns its keep 3. Writing work: drafts, … Read more
I gave the same 12-step refactor to Cursor, Claude Code, and Cline across 3 sessions, and the weird part was what each one missed. One model would nail the edits but forget the tests; another would write the plan and stall on execution. That gap is basically the whole story behind what is agentic ai. … Read more
On 14 March I gave the same brief to Claude Sonnet 4.6, GPT-5, and Cursor 0.50: pull a bug from a docs repo, summarize it, and draft a fix note. The one using an MCP server got to the right files in 18 seconds; the one without it burned 3 retries and hallucinated a path … Read more
I wasted three weeks on Cursor before realising the bottleneck wasn’t the editor. In April 2025 I switched the heavy lifting to Claude Sonnet 4.6 for spec work, kept Cursor 0.50 for code edits, and used GPT-5 only for cross-checking weird edge cases. That swap saved me about 18 hours over 12 sessions, mostly because … Read more
