Pick ONE: Cursor vs Claude Code vs Codex vs Copilot (agent mode) - and defend it.
I'll go first: Claude Code. Why (my POV): - It feels like the most reliable coding partner when you use it correctly: clear task framing, tight scopes, and constraints. - Iâm treating my dev work like a product: versioned releases on Git, plus a personal learning.md for decisions + "memory context". - I started this product as vibe coding, but now itâs turning into a production product - and Claude Code helps me keep structure while still shipping fast. Tradeoff / reality check: Even with good hygiene, Iâm seeing 50K context usage out of a 200K window just for it to scan and understand files sometimes. Worth it for speed, but the context budget is real. My take: Claude Code wins when you donât treat it like magicâyou treat it like an engineer: - give it a mini-PRD, - curate context (learning.md, changelog, release notes), - force small, testable steps. Now your turn đPick ONE tool and defend it. If nothing comes to your mind just pick from these: what's your bottleneck - context budget, accuracy, refactors, tests, or review quality?
