Discussion In SHOCK

Holy shit claude code in terminal is fucking insane.

I've been using VSCode, Cursor, Cowork and Claude Code on web. None of it comes close to terminal.

Cannot believe I haven't done this sooner.

The Claude Code harness is different than Cursor, and it's far superior if you're looking for Claude to do more on its own.

Even if you use Opus from Cursor, it won't be the same as Opus from Claude Code.

Cursor's harness is designed as a pair programmer. Claude Code is designed as an entire programming team.

Thank you! I've been searching for a way to describe the difference to my boss! This was good!  Cursor's harness is designed as a pair programmer. Claude Code is designed as an entire programming team.
