RoboCoders: Judgment Day – AI IDEs Face Off
summary
AI IDEs are asked to build a webcam-driven smart light bulb controller from scratch and mostly deliver: Windsurf, a Copilot-powered VS Code agent and JetBrains Journey use Spring Boot 3.5, HTML/JS, puppeteer UI checks, Context7 MCP for up-to-date docs and libs, and JmDNS for DNS discovery; agents generate controllers, tests, and CI changes automatically under a permissive YOLO mode and one demo successfully changes bulb color while the other shows intermittent discovery and frontend flakiness.
