How many coding agents are you using for the same project?
Probably my first post ever...anywhere. In the last few months, I've had to switch between 3 coding agents for the same project just to barely get it working consistently and to my design (more on that below). First Contact! I remember being excited just to have a machine talk back to me :D (fun times!!). We've come a long way since then. We now have agents generating code, running CI/CD,…
This report examines the author's experience with multiple coding agents used for a single project. Initially, the author had been using WebStorm for 11 years before switching to Cursor in 2024. The author was initially impressed with Cursor's ability to complete code implementations, write unit tests, run builds, and update documentation.
However, over time, the author noticed that the code produced by Cursor felt incomplete or broken when actually used by users. This led the author to question the quality of the code generated by the coding agent and to explore the inner workings of large language models (LLMs) and machine learning. The author ultimately used multiple coding agents in different sessions to avoid context bias and try different prompt styles to generate better code.
