I've heard about Augment Code on X and what piqued my interest was their "context engine" which is a fancy way of saying they have a way of navigating big codebases and providing enough context for their LLM to execute your query. It worked really well on a medium-sized codebase in my day job where other agents would fail.

It's a VS Code extension so I'm using it inside Cursor and depending on a task I would either use Cursor's Agent mode (for simpler, more constrained tasks) or Augment Code's (for tasks that span multiple files and are more vague and/or require more steps to finish).

There are downsides though - it's more expensive than Cursor ($50 vs $20 per month) and it can be unreliable - I'm frequently getting errors/timeouts that require hitting "Try again" manually, which is frustrating. I might switch to Claude Code after my plan runs out because I've heard many good things about it recently.
