Comparison
Read the comparisonClaude Code vs Cursor
Which one should a founder who does not code actually pick?
My verdict: Claude Code if you do not code. Cursor if you live in a code editor. I run two companies on Claude Code.
These are written by an operator, not a reviewer with a payout. I run two real companies on these tools. So each verdict is what I would actually pick, backed by my stack and my build ledger. Plain English, and no affiliate links, ever.
The first one is up now. More as I ship them.

I do not rank tools by feel. The stack page lists every tool I actually pay for, and the build ledger shows dated entries of real work shipped with them, including what broke. Read those and check my verdicts against them.
