Been playing with various tools like Cursor, Cody, and even ChatGPT plugins. Some pairs better with API testing workflows too, especially if you’re building developer tools. Curious if anyone’s using any with integrated REST testing features?
I’ve had good experiences with Claude Code. It is able to navigate a fairly large Clojure and ClojureScript codebase, and implement changes in multiple places.
It’s far from perfect. My estimate is that this is roughly at the level of a junior intern. You can’t give it tasks that are too complicated. You have to explain the task in quite a bit of detail, then you have to monitor the progress, and at the end you need to review the code very carefully. That said, I am finding it a very helpful tool and use it on a daily basis.
A notable difference between Claude Code and most other solutions is that it is the only one I’ve found that can reliably navigate the codebase by itself. Most other tools only look at a single file or ask you to provide all the files relevant as context. That is simply impractical with a larger project.
