#313: In this episode, Darin shares his recent experiences using AI tools Cursor and Claude Code to improve and refactor Jenkins plugins. After receiving a recommendation to try out Cursor for code improvements, he tests it alongside Claude Code, comparing their functionalities and effectiveness. He describes his process and observations, noting that both tools helped identify performance improvements in the code. While Cursor provided quick initial feedback, Claude Code offered a slightly better quality of suggestions but required nudging to get accurate results. Darin also mentions the practicality of integrating these tools with his existing setups and the importance of having issues documented for better management. Moreover, he discusses the benefits of AI-assisted PR descriptions and emphasizes the need for caution when using such tools for proprietary code without corporate approval. Overall, he concludes that transitioning to these advanced AI tools can significantly improve productivity in open-source projects.
