My AI-Powered Workflow for Writing Elixir and Phoenix with Windsurf

1

Windsurf Editor

There's a ton of stuff out there about using AI to write JavaScript and Next.js code, but what about Elixir and Phoenix? Are they getting left behind in the LLM code generation game? Well, yes and no. Can we make it better? Definitely. Is it worth the effort? Hell yeah. And can we actually become those legendary 10x engineers by writing Elixir with AI-powered tools like Cursor or Windsurf? You bet we can!

Claude AI

This year I tried using both Cursor and Windsurf for a month to see which one I'd stick with. The code they generated was pretty much the same (not surprising since they both use Claude 3.5 Sonnet). But Windsurf was better at understanding my codebase and grabbing ideas from my existing files, plus its UI just felt smoother and more intuitive. Honestly though, these AI tools are copying each other's features so quickly that it probably doesn't matter which one you pick - they're both solid options.
