Cursor is the clear winner when precise context is crucial, but Claude Code excels in vibe coding. Vibe coding is when you interact more than you read or write code - it is a development mode that is somewhat reckless, but fun. This approach gets expensive, but it is far less cognitively intense. Claude Code excels at boring tasks and at extending features, but due to lower supervision by design, it suits smaller or less critical projects at best. It is relatively expensive compared to more comprehensive tools.
2025.03.11·rafaelquintanilha.com·5 min read·TLDR The evidence points to a scenario where engineering and other pure knowledge works will soon be mostly done by AI agents. Those who formerly held jobs that AI took over will act as AI agent wranglers. There are still factors of production other than intelligence, many that are intrinsically tied to being a human, that should retain economic value. There are many jobs that, even if they could be done very well by AI systems, people wouldn't want to use AI systems to do them, for example, sales.
