Every major AI coding tool launched in the last two years claims to make you "10x more productive." Most of those claims come from companies with something to sell. We test tools on production codebases, report what actually happens, and tell you who the tool is actually for.

What we cover

  • AI coding tools — Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, Copilot, Codex, and new entrants
  • MCP (Model Context Protocol) — integrations, server setup, and workflow guides
  • Developer productivity — tool stacks, workflows, and time-saving techniques
  • Career & opinion — honest takes on AI's real impact on software engineering

Our principles

No sponsored rankings. Tool scores are based on testing alone. Companies cannot pay to improve their rating.

Real codebases only. Every review uses production-grade projects — not toy apps or synthetic benchmarks designed to make tools look good.

Independent. We are not affiliated with Anthropic, OpenAI, Cursor, or any tool we cover.
