It’s been just over a week since I shared my experience using Claude 3.5 Sonnet for rapid development, and the response has been overwhelming!

If you haven’t read the original post I would suggest that you read it first for context.

The post sparked discussions across X, Reddit and Hacker News, with developers weighing in on the potential and limitations of AI-assisted coding. Let’s dive into the key takeaways from the community’s feedback.

Integration is Key

One of the main pain points I highlighted was the constant back-and-forth between the browser and code editor. Many readers echoed this sentiment, but also pointed to solutions on the horizon. As one Reddit user put it, “the game changer will be using API for this, fully automating this manual task, we just need very cheap API (almost free). This will come.”

Several commenters suggested existing tools that aim to solve this problem:

  • Claude Engineer: A tool that stuffs everything into the context, though at a higher cost.
  • Claudesync: A Python package designed to streamline the process.
  • Cursor.sh: An IDE with built-in AI capabilities, though some users found it occasionally buggy.
