1 month semi-offline, and i’m already way behind on the latest in ai coding…any help? 🙏 

i’m still using claude+cursor rn, but i know there are other options

this bio is under construction. 🚧🚜

Allow me:
 - Context windows are eating the world: Gemeni 2.5 pro is now my model of choice owing to its LARGE context window. Gone are the days of RAG + Indexing a codebase. Just throw the whole thing at gemini and it does a very decent job. 
- Claude 3.7 sucks: avoid it, especially on established codebases. It will break things, delete things, and cause general tom-foolery.
- Windsurf >> Cursor atm, but at a cost: Windsurf has proven superior especially with tasks that require cohesion. But this comes at a cost of 'flow' credits which get eaten away and it's unavoidable. 
- Cline + Gemeni is a very good free option, but not as good as above.

thank you!

been using Claude 3.7 all day and it is pissing me off; rapidly forgets even recent instructions. i'm happy to pay for something that actually works...we'll check out windsurf 🫡
