#3> You no longer need to review the code. Or instruct the model at the level of files or functions. You can test behaviors instead.
Maybe for a personal project but this doesn't work in a multi-dev environment with paying customers. In my experience, paying attention to architecture and the code itself results in a much more pliable application that can be evolved.

#4I am still a WindSurf user. It has the quirk of deciding for itself on any given day whether to use ChatGPT 5.2 or Claude Opus 4.5 in Cascade (its agentic side panel). I've never noticed much of a difference, they are both amazing.
I thought the difference must be in how Claude Code does the agentic stuff - reasoning with itself, looping until it finds an answer, etc. - but I have spent a fair amount of time with Claude Code now and found that agentic experience to be about the same between Cascade and Claude Code.
What am i missing? (serious question, i do have Claude Code FOMO like the OP)

What AI have you been using for 5 years of coding?

As a Claude Code user for about 6 months, I don't identify with either of these categories. Personally I switched to Claude Code because I don't particularly enjoy VScode (or forks thereof). I got used to a two window workflow - Claude Code for AI-driven development, and Goland for making manual edits to the codebase. As of a few months ago, Claude Code can show diffs in Goland, making my workflow even smoother.

#7This reads like a useful guide, not an answer to the question "why use Claude code over cursor" that the author includes at the beginning.

Probably the original GitHub Copilot

If AI can 10x then that's 50 years worth of development. Likely OP has developed a UNIX like operating system, is my guess.

#10>> You no longer need to review the code. Or instruct the model at the level of files or functions. You can test behaviors instead.
I think this is where things will ultimately head. You generate random code, purely random in raw machine readable binary, and simply evaluate a behavior. Most random generated code will not work. some, however, will work. and within that working code, some will be far faster and this is the code that is used.
No different than what a geneticist might do evaluating generated mutants for favorable traits. Knowledge of the exact genes or pathways involved is not even required, one can still select among desired traits and therefore select for that best fit mechanism without even knowing it exists.
