Two AIs, One Codebase: Why I Run Claude Code and Cursor Side-by-Side
My daily workflow involves using competing AI assistants to build better code through creative tension.
Most mornings, I start with two windows and two assistants to tackle a frustrating problem with the Stark Insider server. On the left, I have VS Code with Claude Code, which excels at commit hygiene, succinct titles, and useful explanations. On the other hand, I use Cursor, built on VS Code, but with an AI-first approach.
- Claude Code is great for chore work, such as writing commit messages and explanations.
- Cursor offers various models, including GPT-5 Codex and Auto, providing different perspectives.
- Some "stealth" options may map to bigger-name models, like Gemini 3.
People whisper that some of the “stealth” options map to bigger-name models (New version: Gemini 3???!)
