Recently I started using Claude over ChatGPT and it’s def better.
I highly customised my VS code, that’s helpful.
I use Arc and it’s better than chrome because my company have 3 different apps and I need to have 3 different profiles locally to simulate integration testings and arc is very smooth with it.
I use Raycast and my fav extension is OCR reader. I also use Amphetamine when I need to keep my Mac’s screen open over night while running a long background processing job.

Few questions
Don't you feel Claude doesn't support long queries. Why don't you use directly jetbrains tools? How does arc manage 3 profiles? Does it open 3 windows like Chrome or single window for all profiles?

Yeah Claude isn’t good with very long conversations and the credit also ends quicker with you have a long chat thread running in Claude. But I mostly need a new thread when I’m using ai chatbot. So it works for me.

Tbh I’ve never tried jetbrains. There was a time when I was excited about webstorm (around 2018) but I never kept a track on how jetbrains progressed after that.

And for arc, you can switch between profiles by a two finger action in the same window. So it’s very neat
