Have you noticed people more productive, in general, using Claude Code or Cursor? Obviously it varies, but curious if one or the other is the clear productivity champion at this point.


I wouldn't say there's an obvious winner yet. I do think it depends on the person and how they like to work / how they reason about problems.

For Claude specifically, people who take more time to write long detailed prompts tend to get much better outcomes. Including me, since I made the effort to get better at prompt writing.
