Ask HN: What's the best AI coding tool today?
My current workflow would be something like: write detailed requirements, ssh into a remote instance, ask an agent to write a plan and giving it free rein to build it there, only pinging me back when it's ready or when it's stuck. I could write code manually in an IDE too but only when the problem is too complex for an LLM.I've used Cursor for work for a few years, but I'm really not a fan of giving all of my data to Musk. In terms of capabilities, value for money, usage limits.

Also I think I want to spend less time writing code by hand.I tried Antigravity but it's utter garbage.I heard some good things about Opencode+open models/ollama cloud, but opencode seems slightly buggy when running it over ssh.I'm really reluctant to give my money to the 2 leaders in the field, I don't think I want to contribute to them making more money, but I could…
