If you switched from IntelliJ to Cursor and miss your old workflow, read this:
I just switched back to IntelliJ + Claude Code after 9 months with Cursor.
Here's what I discovered:
✅ Claude Code integration is surprisingly smooth
✅ All the AI benefits without the quirks
✅ Database viewer that actually works
✅ VIM keybindings that don't feel like a hack
✅ JetBrains ecosystem beats flashy newcomers
❌ JetBrains AI Assistant = skip it
❌ Missing some of Cursor's "magic moments"
❌ Never got comfortable with VS Code anyway
Bottom line: You can get 90% of Cursor's AI magic while keeping all the IntelliJ features you actually miss.
The grass isn't always greener. Sometimes the best move is going back home with better tools.
Following me = getting real-world dev insights without the fluff
Also bothered Claude Code a bit more and quickly built a @typefully MCP server to have Claude Desktop publish drafts directly into TypeFully using the API.
2 hours with Claude Code = complete NestJS starter kit
it reads your code, understands context, suggests commands, you just say yes/no
the constant "are you sure?" gets annoying.. sometimes you want yolo mode :D
but damn, it built something that would've taken me a full day
docker + prisma + stripe + jobs all configured and working
way better than Cursor - it actually feels "agentic"
You can see what it did here:

To be honest - I haven't given it a try yet - I'll try to work with and on it for some time
most folks still rely on classic RAG for AI agents
but i’ve seen firsthand how it falls apart for live data
my new game plan for dynamic client work👇

setup’s not rocket science:
- run a neo4j db
- connect your agent to the graph
- feed in new info as it comes
python, docker, whatever—just keep the pipeline live.
Unlocking focus: is it worth the trade-off?
fasting + caffeine is honestly my cheat code for focus
i get so much more done on an empty stomach, but damn—i’m always freezing and kinda jittery by noon
you can’t win both ways i guess
i forced myself to talk on camera for 5 minutes a day. no editing, no do-overs. just exposure therapy for camera-shyness.
never thought hearing my own filler words would be so painful (and weirdly effective).
Still see people copy-pasting every morning like it’s 2015. We're living in a bubble.
I see this frequently in the co-working space, and I'm not sure why. Daily data pulls, logging into 5 tools, filling out the same forms.. AI + BrowserMCP or a plain N8N automation and it’s done.
most german flats: no AC, barely a fan, just vibes and heat-induced brain fog.
how do people in warmer countries keep working?
