Hey, it's Bernie!

As I dive deeper into the world of AI engineering, I'm beginning to discover the plethora of tools available, and that's not all – every single day there's a new name of a new tool to download, check out, etc. The pace is just slightly too fast.

Initially I was thinking of Claude Code as a coding agent, then I realized there were other options, like Codex, Cline, GitHub Copilot and Jules? Ok ok, hold the phone. I need a moment to think.

I don't need such a sophisticated agent right now, so I'm not going to put down any money for subscriptions until I get stronger in my CS foundations. Playing around with VS Code, Cursor, Antigravity, then hooking up to Frontier LLMs via APIs is enough for me right now.
