> Do you use an IDE like Cursor or Windsurf, an editor like Zed or more directly an agent like Claude Code?

At work, we use both Windsurf and Cursor. At home, I also use Claude Code.

> Have you used tidewave.ai?

My coworkers have and are impressed, I can't speak to it.

> What use-cases have LLMs shined in for you?

Well, I managed to literally have it do all my work for 3 weeks. I didn't write a single line of code. That was pretty cool. I didn't even cherry-pick work best for the LLM. It was my normal flow.

I also use Claude code as an interactive tutor. I will have it implement something, break it into logical commits, then in each one break a few pieces and write tests for them and have me learn by fixing the broken tests.
