What's your AI coding setup?


Where can I learn about the optimal way to have AI write my code for me?

VS Code (with neovim, btw).

I ask ChatGPT questions.

Most problems I work on are some form of building a declarative graph and then defining orchestrated operations on that graph. My understanding of how to structure and interact with that graph is usually the constraint. I have not found agents to help with improving the speed or quality of my understanding.

Eclipse with the Github Copilot plugin. Nice and simple, but it works.

I've been dabbling a bit with things like Codex and OpenCode, but I haven't really adopted any of them as a major part of my routine workflow so far. But time will tell.

And then sometimes I just ask coding related questions to Gemini or ChatGPT and copy & paste from the response, into my codebase, as indicated by the situation at hand.

Cursor is pretty good. I’ll sometimes break off an agent window and mirror it on my iPad while keeping the codebase up on my main display.

My colleagues really like Claude code. I will need to find some time to experiment/transition to it.
