Happy to answer questions here if anyone is curious — I also curated a list of 100+ MCPs (small plug-ins you can add to your AI IDE) if anyone wants it.

Over the past few months, I started using an AI-first IDE built around agents and natural language interactions with your codebase.

It changes how you refactor, build tests, and connect tools like GitHub, Jira, and Figma directly inside the coding workflow via Model Context Protocols (MCPs).

I wrote a detailed breakdown (no paywall, no ads) about what I learned — if you're curious about how AI is embedding deeper into our developer workflows, you might find it interesting.
