after an hour spent generating smut with local LLM, back to working on code with Cursor. averaged over the whole week, I spend maybe 4 hours per day interacting with AI somehow.

I don't know what knowledge workers do who refuse to work with AI. sure, there are many pitfalls and one has to diligently check and test the output, but it makes you soooo much faster.

AI IDEs and CLIs discussion

Show

Cursor IDE is a complete AI code tool that just works out of the box without any hassle. By now I found out how much to control and where to allow it some freedom. The new Composer model (whatever it is) seems better than previous Claude etc models. I like the ability to review each line changed by hand and accept or roll back. However, it tends to mess up when things become complicated. I should work more with local commits that I can roll back. It works best for me for targeted changes and small Python scripts. Having experimented with languages I'm not able to read/understand like C++, I think it's unsuitable. The user must be competent enough to verify the changes.

OpenCode seems cool as a concept. I tried a bit with the free models, but it's not representative of what it could achieve with better ones. It requires OpenAI API key and does not support OpenAI Plus subscriptions, meaning I'd have to install a plugin. However, there are at least 3 from random dudes, which I cannot evaluate myself.

OpenAIs CLI seems very advanced, although I just started using it. I like its autonomy in being able to install and setup everything for you. The price being that you have to trust and might not be able to fully verify changes made. Another downside is slow speed. A full Cursor-style Codex IDE might become my favorite.

I'm using a VM to experiment, which turns out to be a good idea, allowing AI to work autonomously and install software from dubious sources. Seeing I often don't quite know what I'm doing.
