Ask HN: What's the best AI coding tool today?

FrenchDevRemote1 pts0 comments

My current workflow would be something like: write detailed requirements, ssh into a remote instance, asking 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. 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 be convinced if there was no doubt they re the best, which I m not totally sure of.I m also on a limited budget and don t want to get a 200$ subscription unless there is zero doubt it s worth it.My main focus is building MVPs around AI/agents, mobile apps, and scraping/automation.In your opinion is there a clearly superior solution today you d recommend? In terms of capabilities, value for money, usage limits.
