Max context of claude is a lot higher than 5 files when you use projects. However, the struggle i’ve found with projects is integrating changes rapidly. You end up reuploading files constantly.
Cursor.sh is a pretty good alternate but I find it a bit buggy at times. I think for me right now AI is great at:
- Quickly rolling an implementation of something in a completely unfamiliar API/language
- Debugging “conceptual” errors, where the problem is me not understanding something
- Playing “spot the typo”.
- Writing boilerplate you know must have already been done a million times.
It’s not so good at:
- Zero shot a conceptually elegant data schema or project structure
- Debugging obscure errors
- Debugging errors with misleading context provided by the user (aka, your hunch and supplied context is completely wrong and the AI gets confused as well)
