Accidentally set NODE_ENV=production and couldn’t install packages. Spent hours debugging with Sonnet and Gemini—no luck. Fixed it instantly with O3. My new debug stack: Cursor + Gemini 2.5 → ChatGPT → Cursor + O3 Sonnet for planning.

One thing I really like about Cursor is that I can use different models to critique each other’s work. I often find small improvements I can tweak after making a big change.

Codex feels like one of those minimum lovable products — rough around the edges, clearly built fast with minimal design help. No file picker, no autocompletions, no hotkeys, confusing task list, clunky env config… but it just works. Shipped 20+ PRs in 12 hours, zero failures.

Today, avante.nvim has two updates: 1. Fast apply is supported, using morphllm.com to greatly improve the issue of failure when editing files. 2. Only the moonshot provider is used; you can directly use provider = 'moonshot' for one-click access to kimi/k2 models.

I found that the combination of kimi-k2 and morph fastapply is incredibly effective. Since kimi-k2 is a bit slow, using morph fastapply means that when calling the edit_file tool, kimi-k2 only need to return the path and edit_code without returning the lengthy search_code part,
