Anthropic
Whenever I have a bug or something to solve from Jira, I give Claude an explanation and the Jira ticket and it ultimately solves the problem and can commit my code to github. It's a powerful tool and asks me clarifying questions when they are needed to best suit the needs of my requirements

Anthropic
It out shines them, Anthropic Claude is a close second since it does a very similar job. I mostly use that in Visual Studio Code. Github Copilot uses Claude but I feel like the terminal and/or Anthropic Claude is superior to this. I am a GUI guy but the terminal has features that can't be replicated anywhere else.
