Stop Fighting with AI Code Edits

You ask Claude to refactor your authentication logic. It responds with 80 lines of beautiful code.

Now what?

Copy the whole thing? Manually find where each piece goes? Watch your indentation break?

This is the hidden bottleneck of AI coding. The back-and-forth. The friction. The context switching that pulls you out of developer flow state.

The Problem with Traditional Applies

Watch what happens when you try to apply AI-generated code today:

# Claude gives you this:
def authenticate_user(email, password):
    """Updated authentication with rate limiting and better security"""
    # Beautiful, complete implementation...
    token = await auth.verify_user(email, password)
    return token

But then you have to:

  1. Find the original function (where was it again?)
  2. Select exactly the right lines
  3. Paste without breaking indentation
  4. Hope you didn't miss any imports
  5. Fix the inevitable formatting issues

Result: 15% of the time, something breaks. 100% of the time, you've lost your flow.

Morph Apply in action

Enter Morph + Continue

Continue leads the pack as the best open source AI coding assistant. Now it's powered by Morph's lightning-fast apply model.

The magic: Continue sends your code + Claude's suggestions to Morph. Morph merges them perfectly. You stay in flow state.

  • Before: 30s full rewrite or 25% broken diff → You lose focus
  • After: 1s apply → You stay in flow state

Why This Matters

Speed = Flow State

When your tools are instant, you stop thinking about tools. You think in pure logic. No more low-intent keystrokes.

Morph Apply hits 1800+ tokens/second. That means even massive refactors happen at the speed of thought.

How It Works

  1. You ask Continue to make a change
  2. Claude generates natural code (no forced diff formats)
  3. Morph merges it perfectly into your file
  4. You keep coding without breaking stride

The technical magic:

  • Custom speculative decoding for code merges
  • Trained specifically on code application patterns
  • ~1% failure rate vs 25%+ for traditional diffs

The bottom line: Every second you spend fixing apply errors is a second you're not solving real problems.
