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…

100% without forgetting the very "GOOD" idea of forking VScode, and thinking all devs will drop their tools and use the Fork :D

Pro does not support Claude Code, the agent. The docs say it does, but it wouldn't work yesterday when I actually tried it.

it absolutely does, as of 18 hours ago or so. the docs were out of date wrt reality for a few hours at least.

Hah ok. I then just happened to try it out during their feature rollout.

I think the focus on Cursor Agent is misplaced. I always turn to Ask and find it annoying they keep reverting it to Agent any time I'm not looking.

The Pro account is only $20/month and works with Claude Code.

Not quite. You pay ala carte for it with API pricing. The $100/mo max plan lets you use a Claude Code with a fixed bill. There’s some usage limits though.

They add Claude Code to the pro plan yesterday: https://x.com/_catwu/status/1930307574387363948

Does anyone know how Claude code compares to using Aider with anthropic API? 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?

Claude Code (and Cursor, for that matter) don't commit to git. Fundamentally that's just bonkers to me. Aider does, so each prompt can be /undo 'd. I had a chance to use Cursor at work, and if that's how people are interacting with LLMs, it's no wonder we can't agree on this whole "are LLMs useful for programming" thing. ChatGPT Codex is on another level for agentic workflow though. It's been released to (some?) "plu…

C.C. can commit if you ask it

Ha! That’s what I get for hallucinating using two day old data.

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.

> 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 .

You forgot the cost of training (which is zero for Uber drivers, but far from zero for Cursor)

It’s getting better fast. It’s still needs refining but I have no issues spending the entire day in it

I've been getting rate limit errors with Zed (using my own Claude API) while the same query will work in Claude Code. So still some rough edges there.

I pay that 20€ a month for a subscription, and the claude opus thinking model from Zed is really solid now.

Had similar issues earlier, now it works.

Also it's great that I do not need to use the vscode ecosystem. Zed is snappy, has a great UI and now a good assistant too.

He has a point, that's quite depressing that a work you had to think and act in order to solve hard problems now became almost the same as scanning barcodes in any supermarket, and it's outright sad that most people are happy about it and being snarky towards anyone that points the hardships that come with it. Philosophically speaking (not practically) it's like living the industrial revolution again. It's lit! But i…

I'm with you on this. I'm pouring one out for human skill because I think our ability to do a lot of creative work (coding included) is on the brink of extinction. But I definitely think these are the future
