Earth shattering venture rounds incenting and empowering the brightest minds in the world in a winner take most (if not all!) race to the singularity. Amidst this battlefield, I find my thoughts returning to a little known fighter pilot from Pennsylvania who's contributions to strategy have come to rival those of Napoleon and Sun Tzu.

Or perhaps you've noticed performance subtly changing during a long coding session? The answer often lies in a crucial, yet sometimes misunderstood, concept: the context window. Understanding it is key to unlocking Cline's full potential while managing performance and cost effectively.
Think of the context window as the AI's short-term memory. It's the space where all the information relevant to your curren</p></description>

However, in the age of generative AI, code is increasingly often read by agents as well. As generative AI tools become popular, it's important that we as engineering leaders better understand how agents interpret the code we maintain.

Since then, Cline has seen installations skyrocket – nearly 50,000 new installs at double our usual daily rate.
DeepSeek v3 is mind-blowing. I’m fascinated by the engineering elegance and scrappiness behind it.

However, in the age of generative AI, code is increasingly often read by agents as well. As generative AI tools become popular, it's important that we as engineering leaders better understand how agents interpret the code we maintain.

This question gets to the heart of how we should think about AI coding agents. While the sticker shock of token-based pricing might initially make you wince, the calculus changes dramatically when you consider the actual value delivered.
Beyond Subscription Limitations
Thus far, we've seen two pricing models for AI coding agents: subsc</p></description>

<description><img src="https://cline.bot/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcline.ghost.io%2Fcontent%2Fimages%2F2025%2F02%2Fu9318423161_two_opposing_forces_interpreted_in_nature_in_the__20c35440-4c8f-4a09-86c0-fb6e6b2db260_3.png&amp;w=2048&amp;q=75" referrerpolicy="no-referrer"><p>In an interesting coincidence, DeepSeek released R1 on the same day we launched Plan &amp; Act modes in Cline. And something fascinating started happening immediately: developers began naturally using R1 for planning phases and 3.5-Sonnet for implementation. Not because anyone suggested it – it just made sense.

<title>Why AI Engineers Need Planning More Than Perfect Prompts</title>

They don't obsess over prompt crafting – they obsess over planning. There's a reason for this, and it's not what most people think.
The Reality Check
Here's what typically happens when someone starts working with AI:
1. They throw requirements at the model
2. They get mediocre outputs
3. They blame their prompting skills
4. They spend hours "optimizing" prompts
5. They still get mediocre results
Sound familiar? But here's what eli</p></description>

However, in the age of generative AI, code is increasingly often read by agents as well. As generative AI tools become popular, it's important that we as engineering leaders better understand how agents interpret the code we maintain.

But while Wall Street panicked about DeepSeek's cost claims, Cline users in our community were discovering a more nuanced reality.
The Promise vs The Reality
"R1 is so hesitant to open and read files while Claude just bulldozes through them," observed one of our users. This perfectly captures the gap between DeepSeek's impressive bench</p></description>

Remember when GitHub Copilot first launched and we thought AI-assisted coding couldn't get more revolutionary? Two years later, we're seeing a fascinating divergence in how AI coding assistants approach development. With recent releases from both Cline (now 3.5) and Cursor (0.46), we're witnessing not just a battle of features, but a philosophical split in how AI should partner with developers.
I've watched both tools mature. Let's c</p></description>

<title>The Developer's Guide to MCP: From Basics to Advanced Workflows</title>
<description><img src="https://cline.bot/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcline.ghost.io%2Fcontent%2Fimages%2F2025%2F02%2Fu9318423161_unlimited_tools_interpreted_in_nature_in_the_styl_5bbf742d-7b0a-4790-ab5b-873e4801c4ea_1.png&amp;w=2048&amp;q=75" referrerpolicy="no-referrer"><p>Picture this: You're deep into development with your AI assistant, trying to juggle multiple tools – GitHub issues need updating, tests need running, and documentation needs reviewing. But instead of the seamless workflow you imagined, you're stuck with manual context switching and disconnected tools. Your AI assistant, brilliant as it is, feels trapped in its chat window.
This is where the Model Context Protocol (MCP) changes everything. It's not just another developer tool – it's a fundamenta</p></description>

<title>Everyone's Talking About R1 vs o1 Benchmarks. But Here's What Really Matters.</title>
<description><img src="https://cline.bot/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcline.ghost.io%2Fcontent%2Fimages%2F2025%2F02%2Fu9318423161_two_opposing_forces_interpreted_in_nature_in_the__20c35440-4c8f-4a09-86c0-fb6e6b2db260_3.png&amp;w=2048&amp;q=75" referrerpolicy="no-referrer"><p>In an interesting coincidence, DeepSeek released R1 on the same day we launched Plan &amp; Act modes in Cline. And something fascinating started happening immediately: developers began naturally using R1 for planning phases and 3.5-Sonnet for implementation. Not because anyone suggested it – it just made sense.

<title>Why AI Engineers Need Planning More Than Perfect Prompts</title>

They don't obsess over prompt crafting – they obsess over planning. There's a reason for this, and it's not what most people think.
The Reality Check
Here's what typically happens when someone starts working with AI:
1. They throw requirements at the model
2. They get mediocre outputs
3. They blame their prompting skills
4. They spend hours "optimizing" prompts
5. They still get mediocre results
Sound familiar? But here's what eli</p></description>

<title>DeepSeek-V3 isn't "free" Claude 3.5-Sonnet. But it's still insanely good for the price.</title>

Since then, Cline has seen installations skyrocket – nearly 50,000 new installs at double our usual daily rate.
DeepSeek v3 is mind-blowing. I’m fascinated by the engineering elegance and scrappiness behind it.
