AI Programming Tools

Notes on AI tools and techniques to aide with programming tasks.

Currently Using

Claude Code, mostly, on a simple Pro plan. I still find it to be the best for

Local AI tools

I run Ollama on my Mac. I’ve looked into running Open WebUI on my homeserver but haven’t had a compelling reason to keep it up yet.

Tried but not currently using

• Aider - AI Pair Programming in Your Terminal. I used this before using Claude Code. I feel like it’s been replaced by opencode at this point.
• Cursor. I don’t entirely buy into the entire IDE replacement idea.

Noted but not used
