Claude Code
My daily driver for AI-assisted coding and running agentic teams. Claude works directly in the codebase via terminal, IDE, or web - great for multi-step tasks and autonomous workflows.
Claude Code is Anthropic's agentic coding tool that operates directly in your terminal, IDE, or through the web interface. Unlike chat-based AI assistants, Claude Code understands your full codebase context and can make multi-file changes, run tests, and execute complex workflows autonomously.
I use Claude Code as my primary AI coding tool for day-to-day development. It handles everything from writing new features and debugging issues to refactoring code and managing git workflows. The ability to run it in agentic mode means I can kick off a task and let it work through multi-step problems without hand-holding.
What makes it stand out is the depth of context it works with. It reads your project files, understands the architecture, and makes changes that respect existing patterns and conventions. I run teams of Claude Code agents in parallel for larger tasks - each working on different parts of a feature or codebase simultaneously.
Other AI & Coding tools
Cursor
AI-powered IDE built on VS Code. I use it mainly for codebase exploration - understanding unfamiliar repos, navigating large codebases, and quick edits with strong context awareness.
Codex
OpenAI's coding agent for background tasks like issue triage, CI monitoring, and automated workflows. Runs headless or via CLI without blocking the main workflow.
GitLens
Git superpowers for VS Code and Cursor. Inline blame, commit graph, worktrees, and AI commit messages. Makes Git history and collaboration much easier.
