Do other people still mostly use just an IDE with occasional in-browser help from AI?
I have noticed that I am increasingly in the minority here. I never made the jump to Cursor / Claude Code and have found myself quite content with not giving full access to my codebase.
I use AI for boilerplate, but mostly I have my own that I am familiar with from previous projects. When I do need help, I provide the code I am working on and whatever context I decide is relevant.
How outdated is this approach? I have always been frustrated by how quickly I have lost control of the content when I hand too much over to AI.
