Would you please describe your setup for coding? I'm interested in trying this out, but I need an ELI5. Thanks.

PS Anybody is welcome to jump in with a description of their setup.

There's not really anything to it. As I mostly use console.athropic.com workbench(the API pay-as-you-go), I haven't played around much with the Artifacts--I am probably getting a Claude Pro subscription later today. But yeah I just copy/pasted my 2 code files in the window, told it I wanted a conversational voice interface model, and in less time than it took to describe it, it wrote it and even saved a bunch of output tokens by saying where to copy large parts of the first file's boilerplate code. That had been a project I started around Easter and had kept putting off because it felt too hard for my somewhat limited time. But there's no moat or special setup to this stuff; anybody who can communicate in a text box can productively use this tool.

I currently tested the cursor IDE [1]. It’s vscode with nice ai integrations made with great ux in mind. They integrate with ChatGPT and Claude Sonnet/ Opus. For my experience (rust/typescript) the sonnet 3.5 model is giving me better results.

You can pass the current file, or multiple files or your whole project as context to the models.

It s prob not gonna work well: he fixes demo of the api of Claude with Claude. You didnt think of asking the AI, so you need more work on your own inference abilities first

I just copy and paste snippets and ask gpt to fix it or translate it

Sourcegraph Cody uses Claude
