I wonder how similar Claude Code is to https://mycoder.ai - which also uses Claude in an agentic fashion?
It seems quite similar:

Claude 3.7 Sonnet and Claude Code

Claude 3.5 has been fantastic in Windsurf. However, it does cost credits. DeepSeek V3 is now available in Windsurf at zero credit cost, which was a major shift for the company. Great to have variable options either way. I’d highly recommend anyone check out Windsurf’s Cascade feature for agentic-like code writing and exploration. It helped save me many hours in understanding new codebases and tracing data flows.
DeepSeek’s models are vastly overhyped (FWIW I have access to them via Kagi, Windsurf, and Cursor - I regularly run the same tests on all three). I don’t think it matters that V3 is free when even R1 with its extra compute budget is inferior to Claude 3.5 by a large margin - at least in my experience in both bog standard React/Svelte frontend code and more complex C++/Qt components. After only half an hour of using C…
I've found DeepSeek's models are within a stone's throw of Claude. Given the massive price difference, I often use DeepSeek.
That being said, when cost isn't a factor Claude remains my winner for coding.

#303Why can't they count to 4? I accepted it when Knuth did it with TeX's versioning. And I sort of accept it with Python (after the 2-3 transition fiasco), but this is getting annoying. Why not just use natural numbers for major releases?
I think I heard on a podcast with some of their team that they want 4 to be a massive jump. If I recall, they said that they want Haiku (the smallest of their current gen models) to be as good as Opus (the highest version, although there isn't one in the 3.5+ line) of the previous generation.

One of the silver bullets of Claude, in the context of coding, is that it does NOT use RAG when you use it via the web interface. Sure, you burn your tokens but the model sees everything and this let it reply in a much better way. Is Claude Code doing the same and just doing document-level RAG, so that if a document is relevant and if it fits , all the document will be put inside the context window? I really hope so!…
Right -- Claude Code doesn't use RAG currently. In our testing we found that agentic search out-performed RAG for the kinds of things people use Code for.
Interesting - can you elaborate a little on what you mean by agentic search here?

Hey there! I’m a fellow Qt developer and I really like your takes. Would you like to connect? My socials are on my profile.

#306Hi everyone! Boris from the Claude Code team here. @eschluntz, @catherinewu, @wolffiex, @bdr and I will be around for the next hour or so and we'll do our best to answer your questions about the product.
Have you seen https://mycoder.ai? Seems quite similar. It was my own invention and it seems that you guys are thinking along similar lines - incredibly similar lines.

Awesome work, Claude is amazingly good at writing code that is pretty much plug and play. Could you speak at all about potential IDE integrations? An integration into Jetbrains IDEs would be super useful - I imagine being able to highlight a bit of code and having a plugin check the code graph to see dependencies, tests etc that might be affected by a change. Copying and pasting code constantly is starting to seem a…
Jetbrains have an official mcp plugin
Thanks, I wasn't aware of the Model Context Protocol!
For anyone interested - you can extend Claude's functionality by allowing it to run commands via a local "MCP server" (e.g. make code commits, create files, retrieve third party library code etc).
Then when you're running Claude it asks for permission to run a specific tool inside your usual Claude UI.

One thing I would love to have fixed - I type in a prompt, the model produces 90% or even 100% of the answer, and then shows an error that the system is at capacity and can't produce an answer. And then the response that has already been provided is removed! Please just make it where I can still have access to the response that has been provided, even if it is incomplete.
This. Claude team, please fix this!

This is BS and you are not listening and watching carefully.
Even the best LLMs today are just junior devs with a lot of knowledge. They make a lot of the same mistakes junior devs would do. Even the responses, when you point out those mistakes, are the same. If anything, it's a tool for junior devs to get better and spend more time on the architecture. Using AI code without fully understanding it (ie operated by a non-programmer) is just recipe for disaster.

Could you share an example?
TLDR: told it to implement a grid view as an alternative to the existing list view, and specifically told it to DRY the code. What it did? Copy and pasted the list view implementation (definitely not DRY), and tried to make it a grid, and even though it is a grid, it looks terrible ( https://i.imgur.com/fJiSjq4.png ). I don't understand how people use cursor and all that other shit when it cannot follow such simple i…
It also keeps adding aspect-ratio to every single image it finds in my code base.
