I was wrong about Claude Code (UPDATED AI workflow tutorial)
AI Summary
In this video, Chris, a productivity app builder, shares his updated AI coding workflow, explaining why he switched from Cursor to Claude Code. He highlights that Claude Code, a terminal-based coding agent by Enthropic, offers superior problem-solving abilities and faster, higher-quality coding solutions compared to Cursor’s AI features. Chris details his workflow using Claude Code’s plan mode, rule-based MD files for context, frequent commits with Git as checkpoints, and utilizing screenshots, folders, URLs, and sub-agents for complex tasks. He shares real examples of complex features successfully implemented with Claude Code that Cursor struggled with, including custom drag-and-drop animations, Google calendar event integration, and porting an iOS app to Android. However, he notes Claude Code’s high cost ($200/month recommended plan), lack of chat restore features, and longer processing times. Chris recommends Claude Code for professional developers who earn from their apps, while hobbyists may prefer Cursor.
