Does anyone have experience with using this or another agent on local files? No company I know of will approve this for their owned repositories. What about Gitlab instead of GitHub, is there an equivalent to cursor 1.0 product?
As someone who has two annual subs of Cursor Pro (one from student account and another from Lenny's newsletter), I just spent $100 on Claude Code and I haven't touched Cursor AI for any coding tasks since. If you already spend anything near or over $100 on Cursor, it's no brainer. The agent experience is night and day. No more wrong tool-calling, premature ending of conversation, failure to apply changes or overwriti…
Well, sure. Except that in most of the world outside SV, $200/month is expensive. At least Cursor is affordable to any developer. Because most of the time, even if it’s totally normal, companies act like they’re doing you a favor when they pay for your IDE so most people aren’t going to ask an AI subscription anytime soon. I mean, it will probably come but not today.

You can subcribe to the Max with 90€ a month, which isn't bad considering the effectiveness of Claude Code.

Claude Code Pro ($17 per month) now supports it, just ends earlier

I have been using the Claude.ai interface in the past and have switched to Aider with Anthropic API. I really liked Claude.ai but using Aider is a much better dev experience. Is Claude Code even better?

Honestly, $200 is not expensive. Even just offloading some small tasks to a junior dev every now and then is incredibly cheap at $200.

Can you elaborate why Claude Code is that much better in regard to also the missing in built IDE functionality?
It can use any command line tool very well. I just told him "Look up the status of the created systemd servive". It ssh-d to the machine, run "systemctl status", read the output and fixed issues based on that! That was totally unexpected.

The market for AI-assisted development is exploding and token costs are plummeting all the time. It makes sense for them to subsidise usage to capture market share in the short-term with the expectation that servicing their users will cost them less in the future.
There is no loyalty or lock in though. There is little real uniqueness. And everyone in AI is trying to make everyone else on AI the "commodity complement" It's like a horse race. But yeah enjoy the subsidies. It's like the cheap Ubers of yesteryear.
Inference cost is plummeting. It’s like the cheap Ubers of yesteryear, if the cost of hiring a driver dropped by a factor of a thousand in the past three years.
