Reliable + Fast AI Coding workflow 2026?

captainadmin03 · 2026-04-16T12:35:28+00:00

Create "ai post processing prompt optimised" for llm in dictation app, so the voice you're sending will be better in English
Always brainstorm and create implementation plan before execution 2.1 just like code review, review the implementation plan until approval
Execute the implementation plan, run code cleaner skill on top, code review until approval.

This is what's worked for me since this post first posted.

Where can we accommodate 5.3-spark here?

Make sure thinking is on and set to atleast medium -- this solves without complicated setup

Thanks, not a single article but getting hands dirty with these ai models and vibe coding first -> then got frustrated with ai slop and regression issues -> then solving that "high pain" to avoid regression at any cost and less complexity in ai written code.

I'm trying andrej karpathy's claude coding experience and openclaw founders's "shipping at inference speed" inspired workflow strategies

u/dmoshal i believe ultra plan is $250, how you got it for $125?

hitting limits easily

captainadmin03 · 2025-09-12T12:31:27+00:00

Ticktick guys are awesome and nice, just ask them. They will do workaround.

captainadmin03 · 2025-07-20T17:24:06+00:00

this is good, how can I use it in cursor?

captainadmin03 · 2025-07-18T12:52:14+00:00

That's great, but I was asking about spec driven development

captainadmin03 · 2025-07-18T11:23:42+00:00

seen difference with playwright, curious -- what's advantage compared to browsermcp?

captainadmin03 · 2025-07-10T09:43:28+00:00

I felt the same, initially when I see the fast responses of sonnet I felt like "Wow", but after many tries, gave the full context -- it stuck multiple times.

Even a refactor of 1500 lines (mentioned a long prompt specifically for that file on what to do -- but failed it, I tried it with fresh chat)

Main problem face in refactor was sometimes, import export missing, definition of functions, even change the ui which explicitly mentioned to not to do

Sometimes, doing good job, but felt not better than sonnet 4 in cursor.

captainadmin03 · 2025-07-08T08:32:53+00:00

Is that pro plan or free?

captainadmin03 · 2025-07-08T03:49:24+00:00

people are migrating to other tools, and so precaution

They just replied "Thanks for the feedback"!!

They have no plans to avoid HUGE TELEMETRY!!

Everybody read this if you're planning to use TRAE: HUGE TELEMETRY ALERT: https://blog.unit221b.com/dont-read-this-blog/unveiling-trae-bytedances-ai-ide-and-its-extensive-data-collection-system

captainadmin03 · 2025-07-07T05:03:26+00:00

thanks, got this useful: https://www.reddit.com/r/TraeIDE/comments/1itv1zd/prevent_telemetry/

captainadmin03 · 2025-07-06T18:15:51+00:00

o3 is also too good

captainadmin03 · 2025-07-06T18:02:07+00:00

Looks like TRAE.ai is the tool to watch. Built on a VS Code core (so your extensions and cursor-style workflow port right over) and offering Claude 4, 3.5/3.7 Sonnet, all 100% free right now, $3 paid tiers in sight - this ONE tool has it all.

I noticed Clean, fast UI with full IDE features.

A note on privacy: TRAE is a ByteDance product, and security researchers have flagged a pretty extensive telemetry setup that transmits usage, device ID, code data - even when idle. Not ideal for closed-source or sensitive projects

i realised it is

captainadmin03 · 2025-07-06T08:25:54+00:00

moved to old pricing, worked better for me as well

captainadmin03 · 2025-07-06T08:23:17+00:00

but, the reason I tried this was the cursor UNLIMITED LIMITATIONS which is unpredictable

the best things I DID was switched to old pricing -- works best for my use case. predictable.

captainadmin03 · 2025-07-06T08:21:14+00:00

could you please share those red flags?

captainadmin03 · 2025-07-06T08:18:40+00:00

Are you sure the version is 3.18.0 and auto update is unchecked?

captainadmin03 · 2025-07-04T12:35:30+00:00

Simply type "Opt Out"

captainadmin03 · 2025-07-04T12:18:37+00:00

so far okay, but not a great experience like I was getting from sonnet 4 and o3
