This is a short rundown on how I write (and don’t write) code these days. I’m not fully stepping away from code and just letting the agent run wild on it, since I need to be responsible for client code.

But for personal projects, I use agent mode more and more.

Over the years, and especially recently, I’ve tried several tools, like OpenCode, Claude Code, Mistral Vibe, etc. But I keep coming back to Windsurf, since I feel like it offers a good balance between a solid IDE and AI tools that are easily accessible when needed.

A few weeks ago, Windsurf added Devin to the same plan, which is an “AI coding agent” that works in the same way as Claude Code, which seems to be the current industry leader. The best part is that it’s easy to switch models if needed, but I usually keep it on Adaptive and don’t have to worry about which model is running in the background. I can see data on which models have been used the most in Windsurf usage:

Kimi K2.5
40.69%
Claude Sonnet 4.6
21.57%
SWE-1.5 Fast
21.57%
Claude Opus 4.6
8.82%

Since I don’t do stuff that is extremely complex and also don’t run that many agents in parallel, it seems like I don’t really need to run Anthropic’s expensive models, and I can’t say that I’ve run into any blocks recently where Adaptive hasn’t been able to solve any problems I’ve thrown at it.
