Ask HN: What is your dev set up like?
Curious what HackerNews users are using right now. Mapping my IDE usage since 2022 Goland (2022-2024)-> Cursor(November 2024 to February 2026) -> Claude Code (& VSCode or Cursor for manual edits) The Claude Code setup is interesting, I use the terminal or GitHub for diffs. I do open an editor to do manual edits, especially when I am doing something new( that the LLM hasn't been trained on) or debugging something. Potential improvements Stripe Projects ( creating API keys from CLI) as something that I have wanted in the past as with LLMs sometimes with a project the slowest part seems to be deployment / bringing all the keys. I also don't enjoy the fact that I can't push a job to the web when I am leaving work. Worktrees aren't fun as I can't run the services on different ports that easily for testing, further managing different TMUXs is painful. I am curious what tools people here are using, also what do people do while the LLM generates. 1 comments on Hacker News.
