What are you using to get your code into Claude. Continue, or something similar?

No I just drag files in, at least when I'm working with IntelliJ. Sluggish but works. With VSCode I've used Copilot but still break multi-file tasks out to Claude. I’m sure the eg Cursor workflow is better but it hasn’t bitten for me yet.

I also tried Replit and it felt amazing, but quickly got into a place it couldn't escape and it felt like it took too much effort to get it to change direction once it had committed to a plan. This was early, so it's almost definitely better by now.

I really like using aider (https://aider.chat) and heavily leverage the /ask command to have a quick chat on intent and context before prompting it for the code I need.

Aider feels like magic
