AI is changing the way we write code. Instead of just assisting with small snippets, AI can now take on an entire project\u2014writing, debugging, and even testing the code while developers guide the process. This approach, often called <\/span>Vibe Coding<\/b> or <\/span>Agentic Coding<\/b>, allows AI to handle most of the heavy lifting, enabling developers to focus on refining and directing the project.<\/span><\/p>\n This guide summarizes key insights on how to make the most of AI-powered coding<\/a>, particularly in <\/span>Cursor and WindSurf IDEs<\/b>, while ensuring the results are reliable and maintainable.<\/span><\/p>\n Different AI models excel at different tasks.
