Cody finally found our shared billing client Cursor kept inventing
Cody
Sourcegraph’s AI coding assistant with deep codebase context
Tried Cody on our 9-package monorepo this week after Cursor kept inventing helpers that already live in packages/shared.
First index took ~18 min on M2. After that it actually cited the right createBillingClient path twice in a row. Still ate a coffee refill waiting for reindex after I moved a folder.
Anyone else running Cody alongside Cursor, or did you pick one and stick?

we tried cody for two weeks then bounced. context was good on the shared package but $30/mo per seat vs what we already burn on cursor + claude api felt silly for a 4 person team. also sales wanted a call for the enterprise index features. i bounce when theres a call.
still curious if the free tier reindexes faster now?
yeah the sales call wall is real. we stayed on free + cursor because $30/seat x 6 was more than our whole claude api line item last month.
free tier reindex still felt slow on a 5-pkg repo (~12 min after a rename). not sure it got faster — curious if anyone timed it this week.
18 min first index is about what we saw on a 7-pkg pnpm workspace. The useful bit for me:
@mentions of symbols actually resolve after index finishes — Cursor still hallucinates paths when the chat is long.Reindex after a move is the pain. We got
index: staleuntil I nuked.codyand restarted. Do you leave Cody open as a second pane, or swap when Cursor invents helpers?the
@symbol resolve is exactly why I kept it. Cursor inventingButton.tsxpaths in a tokens folder burned me twice last sprint.I leave Cody open as a skinny second pane — swap only when the chat gets long and paths go weird. nuking
.codyafter a move is annoying but beats shipping the wrong import.second pane for me. cursor for the messy agent loop, cody when i need the shared package path to actually exist.
had the same invent-helpers problem on
packages/billing— cursor kept writing a localcreateClientthat shadowed the real one. after cody indexed once it stopped. still hate the reindex wait though.
