“Now you have Claude, which has the best models but not the best harness. And you have Cursor, that has the best harness, but obviously does not have the best models. So you do not have a company that is superior.”
“Claude Code, compared to the past, today it makes less mistakes, it follows the guidelines, guardrails, CLAUDE.md better, and allucinates less. Especially if you use stuff like Superpowers.”
“The durable version is already on disk without you doing anything. Claude Code writes every session as JSONL under ~/.claude/projects/<escaped-project-path>/<session-id>.jsonl, with each tool call and each result in it, whether or not verbose was on.”
“Yes, there's a langfuse skill which you can use with Claude code, haven't set it up for codex but I'm sure it's something similar. Just note that you still need langfuse.”
“In VS Code, Claude Code becomes just another tab in the IDE, right in bed with all the files in whatever parent folder I opened, versus in terminal/CLI, also in the parent folder.”
“Then my second monitor has IDE plus a single Claude code chat in it. I'll typically use that one for special things, and keep my primary Claude work in the terminals.”
“I can run commands with just a bank directly inside my Claude code sessions which make some things easier. Also I’m used to it… I also have my own typeface in Terminal which I like and I can customize it.”
“The terminal app and the desktop app are separate apps they dont both share all the same features. half the settings in the settings.json don't even make sense in the desktop app.”
“I'm using Claude Code and really enjoying the productivity boost, but I'm missing one thing: whenever I want to see the project structure, navigate between classes, or just carefully check what got changed, I end up having to open Cursor because it's more visual there and I trust what I'm seeing more.”
“Yeah, it seems like the cluade agents are sort if intentionally opaque. If it notices that you reject requests it thinks it needs it will bury it in a python script and do it anyway.”
“I’ve been trying to set up a reliable workflow to run terminal coding agents (like Claude Code and Aider) for my development projects without running into hard blocks.”
“Most folk use Claude Code in terminal because it has more functionality than Desktop and you've more direct control over your development environment. You can build statuslines for the TUI (terminal UI) as well as more directly interact with and build your own Claude Code setup in terms of rules, agents, memory, etc.”
“What kept you away from the desktop Claude code app? It supports split windows and popout windows, as well as remote sessions, side-chats, and more in a pretty straightforward way.”
“I do actually enjoy writing code still, so I use the VSCode extension sometimes as well, so I can code and have claude coding at the same time. Most of my use now is with the desktop app, though. I'd say 80% desktop app, 20% VSCode extension.”
“If you end up spending tons of time tooling then you're not actually increasing your delivery efficiency, which was the whole point of Claude Code to begin with.”
“I've been using the Claude Code desktop app for a while. I tried to use it in the terminal as well, but the desktop app is way more comfortable, flexible, and easy to read.”
“Is there a reason to still use Claude Code given the usage limits? I mean ok the models are good but... expensive. Being that expensive and precious rends them almost unusable.”
“I use both Claude Code and Codex. I found it hard to manage both desktop apps with multiple sessions so I started using herdr and therefore went back to CLI. Not regretting leaving desktop app.”
“The desktop app is fine for browsing sessions, but the CLI is the only one that works over SSH, and it's scriptable. You can pipe prompts, run it in CI, hook it into your own tools.”
“Yea by having claude code in a terminal window within neovim rather than tmux you can leverage neovim commands to traverse, copy, paste and otherwise interact with the terminal window like any other buffer.There are also plugins with more specific workflows but I like really seeing how much vanilla neovim can get done”
“I spend most of my time on TMUX with Claude Code and vim side by side btw, but I’m using it just to search some specific code and making small changes.”
