Cursor 2.0 dropped last week, and unlike most recent AI updates, it's actually changed how I work. Two features in particular: Cursor's new Composer model that's 10-50x faster than any other coding model, and parallel agents that finally make running multiple autonomous builds practical. I'll show you Composer building and...
Cloud-based coding agents from Claude Code on the Web, Cursor Cloud Agents, and Codex all promise the same thing: kick off a task, walk away, and come back to a completed pull request. But do they actually deliver? And more importantly, which one fits into your real-world development workflow?
I demonstrate my workflow for running multiple AI coding agents (Claude Sonnet 4.5 and Cursor's Composer 1) in parallel on the same feature, then comparing their work to choose the best implementation. The focus is on solving the practical challenges of reviewing agent work in git worktrees by using a branch-based approach that makes testing, debugging, and merging much more manageable.
In this video, I show how to build a fully automated PDF invoice system in Rails—from Stripe test data to downloadable invoices—using Cursor 2.0 and their new Composer model.
This video shows my process of spec'ing and implementing the Video Library feature here on buildermethods.com, including implementing filters and ensuring consistent design and use of UI components across both the video library and members directory areas.
Claude Code 2.0 dropped with Sonnet 4.5, a VS Code extension, and new features. But I've been testing these updates in production for weeks to see what's actually useful for professional developers—not just demos. In this video, I share my honest impressions of what matters for building real products. I'll...
In this video, I walk through the implementation of a complex member profile feature for our platform, which includes user-generated usernames, experiences, and interests. After testing, I encountered some issues, particularly with the display and functionality of these features, which I addressed with the help of AI. I also made...
I've been a daily Claude Code user for most of this year but I wanted to give Codex CLI a look, since OpenAI has been making an obvious effort to win back developers.
In this video, I share a best practice for managing and customizing your standards in AgentOS, which simplifies the process of updating to the latest version (it was 2.0.5 at the time of this recording). I demonstrate how I commit my base installation to a private GitHub repo for easy...
Remember what FLOW used to feel like? Hours would disappear. It felt amazing—that perfect flow state where you're crafting software with your hands. Well I'm noticing a new flow emerging when I'm building products using AI. I'm finding that this new rhythm of development has a repeating 3-step cycle.
Claude Code is excellent as an autonomous coding agent. So the obvious next step is to run multiple Claude Code agents in paralell. Simple, right? This video shows you how to use Git Worktrees and my method for automating the workflow for spinning up new worktrees to run multiple Claude Code agents simultaneously.
As professionals, we have to master our tools. My daily driver for coding and building with AI? Cursor (a fork of VS Code). So I'm sharing all most frequently used Cursor keyboard shortcuts, how I've customized them and how you can customize your shortcuts in Cursor (or VS Code).
