I’ve been using GitHub Copilot’s free version for inline suggestions and occasional tasks at work. I’ve also heard a lot of hype around tools like Cursor, Claude Code, and OpenAI Codex, but I haven’t had time to dive into them yet.
Now that I have some free time, I’m looking for high-quality resources that:
1. Give a good overview of the current AI code editor landscape
2. Explain tool-specific features (e.g., recent features like skills, etc.)
3. Provide tactical tips for using these tools effectively in real development workflows
Blog posts, videos, tutorials, beginner to advanced guides, or even personal workflow tips would all be helpful.
not sure these would qualify for 'good resources' - that really depends on many factors. However at least one or two of his showing 'how to use' does check the boxes of your 1,2, and 3 - surely not a complete "here is everything you can do" - but not sure such a thing exists.
maybe good tips: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zxMjOqM7DFs&t=541s
I liked info from the talks here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hOqgFNlbrYE
I have some open tabs for going through the learning the openai codex has online - I poked into a couple and they seem very good.
Running openai codex inside vscode right now and claude code via web -
will be setting up a new computer do run these things, not sure I trust the power they have to run on main box.
