Cursor vs Claude Code vs Windsurf for backend work — 90 days in

Three months on each AI editor for backend work. Cursor for refactors, Claude Code for greenfield, Windsurf for the indecisive moments. Receipts inside.

The setup

This is placeholder copy seeded by wp faraz-ahmad seed. Replace before publishing. The post structure (heading hierarchy, internal links, TL;DR, last-reviewed metadata) is correct so every template renders the way it will at launch.

What I found

Drop the actual findings here — three or four substantive paragraphs, with a specific framework or numeric outcome. The TOC block to the side will pick up these H2s automatically.

Subsection

Use H3 sparingly — the TOC nests them under the parent H2 in the rail variant. Don’t go deeper than H3 in normal posts.

What I’d do differently

End with a concrete framework or recommendation. Specific is better than universal.
