DeepSeek's full-stack code output lags Claude Code and Cursor — devs trade prompting tips
AdEnvironmental4143 · reddit · 2026-09-15
A full-stack developer on Reddit shares his experience using DeepSeek for daily development (.NET backend + React/TS frontend): the code usually works, but Carchitecture feels basic for enterprise-grade practices and the React UI/UX is generic, requiring heavy polishing.
He finds output noticeably below what he gets from Claude Code or Cursor, and asks the community for tips on prompt engineering, project rules/context, better agent setups, or model combos to close the quality gap. The thread focuses on prompts and harness configuration.
