Links & notes
- The “AI Magic Quadrant” graphic was originally created/posted by Pavel Samsonov on LinkedIn
- I had read an excellent blog post breaking down the flaws with using agentic AI for dev-ops, including the 77% stat and the principle of returns degrading over multi-step workflows, but can’t find it now. This Medium post by Mehul Gupta covers some of the same ground with less gravitas.
Tools mentioned in the talk:
- Cursor — AI code editor based on VSCode, w/ agentic features currently powered by GPT-5.
- Cursor Tab is its autocomplete feature, which uses different models and behaves differently than…
- Cursor Agent (fka Cursor Chat), its full-scale “agentic” AI experience powered by GPT-5 or Claude 4 Sonnet
- Claude Code — Anthropic’s terminal-based coding agent, integrates w/ VSCode, Cursor, WebStorm (and other JetBrains IDEs), probably a bunch of other crap by now
- Claude chatbot — Anthropic’s main Claude interface which competes with ChatGPT, with more built-in support for projects, connections to other services like Google or GitHub, and less tracking/memory across interactions (plus the Claude 4 models which are seen as higher quality than GPT-4.x and on par with GPT-5)
- Adobe Firefly — The catch-all name for Adobe’s various generative AI tools, both standalone at firefly.adobe.com and integrated into young, up-and-coming, super-fast apps like Photoshop and Illustrator.
