About
About the Book
Codeium built Windsurf. Cognition bought it for $250 million and embedded Devin — the world's first autonomous AI software engineer — directly into the IDE. The result is the only editor where an interactive AI agent (Cascade) and an
autonomous agent (Devin) work side by side.
Most developers use 20% of what Windsurf can do. This book covers the other 80%.
You'll learn:
- Why Windsurf is fundamentally different from Cursor, Copilot, and Claude Code
- Cascade: the agentic AI that plans multi-file changes, runs terminal commands, and iterates on errors
- Supercomplete: intent-aware predictions that go beyond single-line autocomplete
- Flows: chain AI actions into reusable multi-step workflows
- .windsurfrules: encode your project's conventions so AI follows your patterns
- Devin Integration: hand off entire tasks to an autonomous agent that works for minutes on its own
- Working with large codebases: indexing, semantic search, refactoring at scale
- Testing and debugging with AI assistance
- Git integration: commits, PRs, and AI-powered code review
- Custom models: Claude, GPT, Gemini — cost management and model selection
- Honest comparison: Windsurf vs Cursor vs Claude Code vs Copilot — when to use each
- The future of AI-first IDEs: where this is all heading
14 chapters with real code examples in Python and TypeScript. Each chapter includes common mistakes and practical exercises.
Whether you're migrating from VS Code or evaluating AI IDEs for your team, this is the definitive guide to the editor that ships code for you.
