I will say Claude Code may be at the fore front of AI coding assistants. It runs in your terminal. Try loading it on one of your side projects and see what you can accomplish.

I have never tried to use AI to develop software, just looked at the output that sometimes shows up in google searches. Noises are starting to come from on-high about an AI ‘push’, so I may need to show some basic awareness. Any suggestions on how to get started or should I just ask the AI?

Is there a difference between claud in the vscode extension and Claude code? I lost use chat mode but will sometimes try agent and neither really make me happy. Id say if a task could be given to a high school programmer the AI agents can do it about 30÷ of the time.

I feel like the experience is different and it feels more integrated with the project than simply running a claude model with Cursor which is a vscode fork. Right now I had it working on a long running cli app task in Rust and its been implementing feature after feature consistently.

I’d suggest Cursor. I was somewhat anti-AI-coding until my job encouraged it, and Cursor (using Claude 4 Sonnet) gave me that “ohh, now I get it” moment.
It’s still plenty capable of generating bad code, so it can take a bit of practice to get a feel for how to use it productively.

I’ve been using copilot. Potential is there but getting a result is more art than science. I’ve found it helpful to document desired workflows in readmes and ask for unit tests then run unit tests until it works out.
