Claude Code vs Cursor Discussion
Developers are comparing Claude Code and Cursor IDE, discussing their respective strengths and use cases. Many are using both tools together, with some preferring Claude Code's optimization while others value Cursor's IDE features.
Boris recently posted about how Claude Code uses the code-simplify subagent to review code. Here's how to get that agent setup in Sculptor π https://t.co/6FHszfMwT7
8/ I use a few subagents regularly: code-simplifier simplifies the code after Claude is done working, verify-app has detailed instructions for testing Claude Code end to end, and so on. Similar to sla...
@gkpacker Sim! Mas via Claude Code atΓ© que rola de usar sΓ³ o Opus, tΓ‘ mais otimizado. Se for tentar usar sΓ³ Opus 4.5 no Cursor, estoura absurdamente mais rΓ‘pido
@burkov Claude Code is awesome, no doubt. But having a real IDE is fundamental to many and Cursor is doing a great job building an AI-native one. I just use both!
More and more teams are adopting IDEs like Cursor and CLIs like Claude Code plans together, one for full agentic use, and one to view code changes alongside the prompt. Feels like a temporary split and things will converge one way soon.
Last week, @mattyp dropped an insightful video about using Replit with Claude Code, and one thing really stood out was the power of working in a true sandbox environment. Here's why this matters for builders experimenting with AI coding agents: π¦Ί Safe experimentation: Since Replit is a fully isolated sandbox, you can let AI agents work more autonomously without worrying about losing anything on your local machine. That peace of mind is huge when you're pushing boundaries. π» Version control built in: Replit Agent automatically takes git snapshots, so you can roll back code or restore your database if anything goes sideways. It's like having a safety net while you experiment. ποΈ Move faster: With the right precautions, you can bypass some permission checks and let the Agent work more freely (something you'd never do on your local setup.) The sandbox gives you that freedom. The bottom line? Replit's infrastructure isn't just about speedβit's about creating an environment where you can safely experiment, iterate, and learn without the fear of breaking production systems. Worth a watch if you're curious about the intersection of AI coding assistants and modern development environments.
i made a tool to control Ableton Live from Claude Code and this is exactly how i use it
@mckaywrigley this is kinda why i tell people to tasteMaxx because claude and i made all sfx from the command line. since i know music theory i just lean back and say (literally out loud) "ah, claude...
@fhlcreative @neversitdull @Replit Cursor / Claude Code IS THE way π«
@amorriscode hey! Iβve opened it, organised my desktop and never opened it again, went back to Claude code.
@Suhail you arenβt running claude code in cursor? come on bro fucking hell, people are gonna vibe code you out of existence
@philsoutside @claudeai @cursor_ai @framer Yep! A bunch. Itβs great, especially for more straightforward components. Claude Code has just been so good lately ππ
