In this episode of The Context Window, Tracy Lee, Ben Lesh, and Brandon Mathis dig into what people miss with Cursor and Claude Code, like feeding the tools the right documentation, using multiple agents to review output, and treating the model less like a genius and more like a fast junior developer that needs constant direction and code review.

They talk about why tab development still wins in some real world refactor work, why the future problem is not generating code but reviewing it, and what happens when AI can produce more than humans can realistically validate. The conversation also explores building agents inside companies, the emerging SDK race between platforms like Vercel and TanStack, why MCP isn’t dead but has growing pains around context bloat, and what enterprise teams can do when they are stuck with slower setups like AWS Bedrock.

What You’ll Learn:

- How to stop AI coding tools from producing “confident garbage” by giving them the right context and constraints

- Why using Cursor or Claude Code well means supervising an assistant like a fast junior dev and doing real code review again

- How to use multiple agents to review the same change so you can spot issues without reading every line manually

- When “tab development” beats full agent mode and how to recognize those refactor style use cases

- What’s next in agent building inside companies including tool calling workflows, MCP growing pains, and surviving enterprise realities like Bedrock
