The AI Tools I Use Every Single Day (And Why)
my daily driver ai tools after 2 years of trying everything. the list is shorter than you think
fwiw cursor is legitimately the best IDE ive ever used
anyone else experiencing this?

switched from copilot to cursor about 6 weeks ago. the codebase indexing is what got me - it actually understands cross-file context instead of just the current file
the cross-file thing is real but i found it starts to degrade on repos over like 200k lines. does that match what youre seeing?
what does your actual stack look like though? cursor for code is obvious but whats handling the non-coding stuff - summaries, docs, research?
huh i never thought about keeping the list short on purpose. i have like 12 tools open at once and half the time im just tab switching instead of actually working
is cursor worth it if youre not a full-time dev? i write maybe 10-15 scripts a month, not sure the subscription makes sense at that volume
yeah exactly. the integration between tools is what matters most
