i took a week porting our internal prompt engg tool to electric, and my verdict is working on electric with claude code/codex is quite painful. i fed it pretty much everything public on electric, the tutorial gdocs, electric src, electric-fiddle, but it struggles to understand, especially at the front/back interop. most of my debugging time was telling the llm that data sync isn’t working because it’d have trouble understanding electric topology (e/Token, e/Offload, etc.). i wanted an automated setup where playwright would test if changes worked (a feedback loop which greatly accelerates development) but that didn’t quite work (tried with codex). there are also some loading/lag errors rn and i’m sure that’s quite a hassle to solve. all in all, i hope electric works with these tools because i believe in simplicity and the right abstractions. i’d love some guides for smoother agent dx with electric for the record i tried claude code with opus effort high + clojure-mcp-light, and codex gpt-5.4 + clojure-mcp

Great! I have done LOTS of work and they still struggle with electric.

Can we interview you in a few weeks? Right now we have internal experiments in motion, we will soon at least have foundations in place which will help us have an informed conversation
