The AI Tools Kent C. Dodds Uses
summary
Uses five core tools and says they genuinely speed work: Cursor as editor replaces the local IDE and is "fabulous", ChatGPT handles frequent drafting and problem solving, Google's Gemini (a.dev) excels when fed entire codebases so it answers project‑wide questions, Raycast with MCP support ties quick commands into workflows, and Claude/Anthropic informs MCP development. Claims these tools are used interchangeably for coding and content creation and reports they work effectively for those tasks.
