It’s more granular and better suited for complex or existing codebases. However, you need to maintain the big picture and guide it carefully. The more specific your instructions, the better the output.
Both tools are revolutionary because they make it possible to build software on your phone. Wherever you are, you can send prompts to your agents and receive real output. It’s a genuinely magical experience.
