A month of running Cursor and Claude Code daily on the same Next.js project. What each one is actually for, where they bit me, the cost difference, and why I kept both instead of picking a winner.
An AGENTS.md file helps AI coding agents, but only when it is short. A two-week field log on trimming mine from 412 lines to 38, and why less context beat more.
Running three to five AI coding agents at once with git worktrees for two weeks: the exact setup, honest merge and cost numbers, the failure mode nobody warns you about, and when parallel agents are the wrong call.
Reviewing AI-generated code is the new bottleneck. Here is the 15-minute triage system I run on every agent pull request, and when I just rewrite instead.
One weekend, one invoice tracker, three AI app builders (Lovable, Bolt.new, Totalum). Honest field log: where each one shone, where each one stalled, and which one survived to Monday morning.
A short, honest June 2026 retro on what got cut from a working Claude Code config: the custom statusline, the over-engineered MCP wrapper, the autosave permission. Plus the one thing I almost killed and why I kept it.
Seven Claude Code subagents written in a week. Four still run daily, three are in the trash. The YAML, the tool whitelists, the cost-per-invocation numbers, the three anti-patterns I won't repeat, and the honest carve-outs where subagents are the wrong tool.
