About
Claude Code went so viral over the 2025 holidays that people who had never written a line of code were using it to ship real apps, which is wild until you realize the terminal has a hard ceiling on visual work. Cursor vs Claude Code for a junior dev building a portfolio site in two hours is not even close: Cursor wins because a portfolio is a visual artifact and you cannot iterate on spacing and typography through a terminal prompt and a browser refresh. Both tools will scaffold you something generic in minutes, but neither builds you a portfolio until you bring the taste yourself.
