Seriously agree — try using something like Sonnet 3.7 and then switching to Gemini 2.5 Pro. The code that both output is fine enough — especially given that I mostly use LLMs as a fancy autocomplete. Generally a better prompt is going to get me closer to what I want than a more robust model. The speed hit with Gemini 2.5 Pro is just too substantial for me to use it as a daily driver.
I imagine the speed difference might not matter so much if you are performing seismic updates across a codebase though.
yeah speed and flow state are for sure linked. People love to say Cursor is a Claude wrapper but they miss the reality that Cursor is a fast apply wrapper.
