I find that 2.5 Pro has a higher ceiling of understanding, while Claude writes more maintainable code with better comments. If we want to combine them... well, it should be easier to fix 2.5 than Claude. That said, neither is there yet.
Currently Claude Code is a big value-add for Claude. Google has nothing equivalent; aider requires far more manual work.
But with my app: you can install the host anywhere and connect to it securely (via SSH forwarding or private VPN or what have you) so that workflow definitely still works!
