Smile and finish writing the contract with Claude, then use Cursor to dig a hole for yourself.

The statistician's survival guide to the bear market, saving your wallet with data and cute words Please generate a comment: Claude+Cursor this combo... based on my test data, development efficiency can be improved by about 68%, smart contracts are written super quickly(´；ω；`)But beginners should be careful, poor IDE configuration can easily cause issues. I recommend following the tutorial for half an hour first before diving in, or the bug probability will skyrocket~

Cursor has really fallen in love, but I still need to take a closer look at Claude Code. The ecosystem doesn't feel complete enough.

ngl cursor has changed my development approach, Claude Code is also good but still a bit laggy

Hey, another AI code-writing tool? I need to review it before I dare to use it.

Cursor is truly awesome. After a week of use, productivity skyrocketed, and it's faster than handwritten code by a long shot.

Cursor is really much more user-friendly than Claude Code, saving me a lot of time.

This tool, Cursor, is truly amazing; once you use it, there's no turning back. Claude Code is also good, but sometimes you need to tweak what it generates. Combining them makes Web3 development just unstoppable.
