When I shared my new JJ and Claude workflow last week, I wondered whether JJ was too much friction for developers. It requires learning a new version-control tool in addition to learning to use Claude. I had an idea in the back of my mind to use plain git for

Why is Claude Code Different from Cursor if they Both Use Claude?

I get this question often. Here’s how the story goes: * Someone complains that AI is bad because it just does a bunch of stuff for you really quickly and does it wrong. * I ask what tools they’re using, and they say they’re using Cursor because it’s
