Using Cursor - the AI powered VS Code alt for the first time…

Check out carter.chat

[@richardbasile]

This is insanely useful. I've been using Cursor for a few days now and it's going to be a gamechanger for new coders.

[@emmanuelezeagwula7436]

yeah make y'all dumber

[@Microphunktv-jb3kj]

asking where u can find it, literally slower than just jumping thru definitions and references or types is this 1:1 clone of vscode + chatgpt features? does the vscode extension ecosystem still work ? is this release or beta/early access ?

[@dixztube]

Bots are out of control

[@Chrisnotfun]

yea dude i'm a beginner and i'm new to the space

[@Chrisnotfun]

what should i do

[@danielkrastev6786]

Unfortunately currently is a huge privacy risk to use the IDE, what they say they do is store prompts on their servers for some unknown time, which might include sensitive data. No clue how is the data stored and who has access to it. Just bear in mind that although this looks great it would take some time to polish and make it trusted by organization if that happens at all, until then it is a big no no even for personal projects.

[@catsotorious]

Please please explain further, I'm interested. I am thinking about using this to assist me with coding Godot 4 language, and wanting to import the codebase and see how it works with Cursor. Weighing pros and cons,a nd this seems like a heavy con. I am especially concerned about ownership and copyright- could they claim something you made using it's coder?

[@treffermedia9202]

hopefull you can run it on your own hosted LLM

[@treffermedia9202]

I just looked briefly at their privacy page, they say this: TLDR If you enable "Privacy Mode" in Cursor's settings, none of your code will ever be stored by us or any third-party (except for OpenAI and Anthropic, which persist the prompts we send to them for 30 days for trust and safety. Business plan users' data will not be retained at all by OpenAI or Anthropic.) So with a buisness Plan you are OK? "none of your code".... ok but promps... I guess u are right there.

[@skyacaniadev2229]

Business plan is $40 per month 😂

[@Jim-be8sj]

To-do list: 1) Install this on my cluster in the morning. 2) Use it to rewrite my "hack code." 3) Take the afternoon off.

[@Dollique]

I wonder if this will ever work fully offline. There are claims that chatGPT is using your data and this IDE seems a huge privacy issue, which would mean most corporations wouldn't allow it.

[@BooleanDev]

if you use the chat gpt API, it will not use your data. However, if you use the web gui it will

[@russtran]

@@BooleanDevproof or it’s trust me bro moment?

[@diggee172]

I may not be as smart as all of you guys, I’m an old timer but it would seem dangerous to me send my companies code with reasonably named variable names , database schema information over to AI outside of the company. I dint see how you aren’t ‘giving away the store’. Perhaps this is ok for front end stuff but not my business logic.

[@BooleanDev]

@@diggee172 you are right, this is why many companies only allow their employees to use an internally hosted version of the AI

[@trejohnson7677]

Your fucking CRUD app isn’t important.

[@captnoplan3926]

Great stuff. But what's stopping MS from implementing this in VS Code? Why switch to Cursor if it's unknown whether they are still going to be around in a years time?

[@ash1kh]

Sign up for copilot, then you will realize what MS implemented already years ago.

[@jamesgreen2058]

Because it’s only $20 and you can use your own api key to do it at cost

[@CanRau]

Copilot is 10$ though right? and keeps improving

[@chrisfeo7924]

@@CanRau yup - I don't see the novelty in CMD+K, In VS you do CMD+I and it works great!

[@mikelshael3565]

Hmm but co-pilot has also a chat feature, refactor and everything I saw here, and I can easily setup shortcuts for that. Don't see the benefits as it costs more and the privacy problem. Not sure what the point of this tool is, am I missing something?

[@gabrielmedina488]

+1. I don't get it

[@bakasenpaidesu]

+1

[@chrisfeo7924]

same - VS code + copilot can do everything shown here, and only 10$. I thought Cursor was much more interesting

[@BenJamminCreates]

This is great, thanks for the video. Gave me the extra push to install and use Cursor

[@SuperKidontheblock]

Some people are saying this is good for new programmers but I feel like it will weaken them by becoming reliant on it.

[@JohnDoe-sp3dc]

You're 100% correct especially considering that GPT can really only help you with the basics of programming. As your questions become more complicated and require larger context it just simply can't keep up. You're much better off just taking the time to learn the fundamentals yourself and then use tools like this to generate basic boilerplate code for you to speed up development time.

[@JasonTubeOffical]

@@JohnDoe-sp3dcif GPT teaches them the basics then they will have an easier time understanding the harder materials online.

Any idea of how to change the sidebar where the files are displayed to look like VScode I do not like the horizontal style.

[@mohammedakeel1547]

Excuse me sir i have a doubt . Did you used open ai module for ur jarvis AI.please reply sir please

[@sicario55]

Yep,....its good people. Run it parallel with vsc, mix n match & let them compete for our love

[@sidarthg2477]

Instead of microsoft wasting gpt-4 in the redundant edge browser, they could give it here in vs code and pretty much become a monopoly here

[@RootEntry]

Microsoft is pretty much already a monopoly. They own github, vscode, npm

[@sidarthg2477]

@@RootEntry hope they don't pull the plug to disable support for Linux and mac

[@sambegstha3516]

Now open AI has my whole code completed before I even start working on it.

[@0777deep]

Haha!

[@netanelaker4437]

They have your whole code period lol.

[@pallikondasrinivas]

Nice video. Looks promising. Few questions we need to ask here 1. How many tokens will it take to do this single task? Is the ROI worth it? 2. Who will maintain the code once it is written/re written? 3. Who will review the code once it is written? 4. How much will it cost for the subscription or paid version of the tool? 5. Are business users techie enough to prompt, understand, review, maintain (CI/CD) of the applications? I doubt. What is sure to follow is developer productivity. It will improve by nX for sure.

[@Bubbalubagus]

ROI is ABSOLUTELY worth it. Running nonstop it's like 6 bucks an hour but you wouldn't run it nonstop

[@software-sage]

Can it go in and create new files and edit other files in the code base? I haven’t been able to get it to do that. Ex: Create a flask app that makes a button in the center of a page.

[@gerocastano8]

It looks nice! But do I need to have an OpenAI key to use it?

[@NuncNuncNuncNunc]

Ooh, it read a config file from the program it's a fork of. At best it is going to be a crap shoot. I tried using replit's AI recently and it would only get in my way autoinserting incorrect code

[@diggee172]

You better have good regression test ready to insure you haven’t broken anything.

[@isaakmwangi4618]

I can't see that chat UI in my cursor app. How do you get to open it?

[@Susmeetjain]

Looking forward to more AI coding videos from you. Subscribed! 🚀

[@Eeatch]

I am confused, i still need copilot to run this or what? I recently unsubscribed from it because it failed to everything it promised to.

[@CaryPalmerr]

If they eventually add the technology to replace the endpoint with a local model that'd be incredible. My code makes money and until I can guarantee it's secure it'll never work for businesses.

[@ridwanganiyu7301]

Good day i can't access the cursor website i think there link is broken, if you have the dawnload please let me know.

[@Josiah_Meier]

Any word on the Carter project and when it’s going to be available to the public?

[@suvambehera4218]

which theme are you using for vscode and cursor.

[@_the_one_1]

Sorry but I think it's very naive thinking that by using this we will get rid of coding. In the end, that's an IDE for coding. It will help developers a lot, and we need this -- Developers usually take a lot of time to finish things and often startups can code an app for months if not years until releasing. Nice that we can step up and become better developers and also make this job be easier! But coding is not going away anytime soon

[@funnyperson4016]

It doesn’t get rid of the need for code, it just in combination with OpenAI-01/strawberry (and whatever comes next that is better), converts coding to English prompting instead. It makes coding way more accessible

[@yassinebouchoucha]

any benchmark/comparison with Github co-pilot !?

[@J3R3MI6]

Amazing tool and solid video 💎 just earned a sub. Anyone know how to connect this to existing documentation?

[@SimGunther]

Every one of these videos is like "Seeing this very small codebase being fixed by the AIs, we'll no longer have any coders! Viva le PMs!" Have you even tried to use this thing for a codebase with tens millions of lines of code? I know that it's somewhat capable of reading all that code, but to make tangible changes that aren't buggy is like saying we should also use autopilot for takeoff and landing: literally the two most unpredictable times when someone is flying a plane. Maybe AI makes small throwaway scripts easier to create, but you still need the solid programming foundation so you know when AI gives you good code and when it's not capable of solving your specific problem. I want you to actually use the tool in the Linux kernel or any web browser and see how far you'll get with AI fixing all the bugs and creating a better version of those codebases. The results may shock you.

[@sweepy84]

I totally agree - "game changer" is a wild overstatement. Reality is it saves you from copy/pasting.

[@Redyf]

Can you use vim keybinds on cursor IDE?

[@jakub2631]

what theme are you using? Cobalt2?

[@adamchehab3685]

Whats your vscode theme?

[@jona4385]

[@bullpup1337]

How is this different from copilot chat?

[@ktappdev]

Not a flex or nothing but I got most of this in neovim with 2 plugins. Also cool video

[@lmnts556]

What plugins?

[@cywalker2047]

Cool… pay more for essentially Codeium’s free offering. Sounds like a solid choice :/

[@real23lions]

Debugging was super fast with this

[@Chrisnotfun]

basically a siri for you coding. seriously what's the point of coding once you can ask apps to do something for you

[@charlieparkeris]

The point of coding is still the same, to create things that solve a problem or serve a purpose.

[@judebubune6697]

you are way ahead

[@TheTanimou]

I think vscode do all of this natively now

[@teslawee4993]

When you will begin in tutorial for ai coding because I need to begin and I’m not sure from where Cause I design an ai assistance but it is connect with chatgpt I need to learn more and more about this field to try make ai like you like Jarvis so if you can open the way front us to begin in this field And thank you for these Videos very exciting

[@un852]

[@LucasAlexK]

[@JohnDoe-sp3dc]

I'm sorry but $20 per month is just an outrageous price for an editor and if you're doing anything beyond babies first web application it just spits out garbage 75% of the time.

[@neaumusic]

lmao get good noob

[@obaid5761]

Proompting skill issue

[@therainman7777]

Yeah, this is definitely a skill issue on your part. I’ve gotten incredible results from it and so has everyone else at my company who’s using it. Don’t be so quick to blame the tool when the problem could easily be you.

[@pellyryu2344]

Doesnt matter its an editor or any other tool. If it makes you productive, $20 is not big money, especially for a software engineer. If it doesn’t, even $3 can be an outrageous price.

[@Sush._.]

I mean its better than github copilot which is already $20 per month

[@SoulaORyvall]

This must be paid advertising. I haven’t seen anything in the video that copilot and other good AI helpers don’t already do

[@Egrodo1]

Trying it out; am I the only one with these really distracting line background & border color changes? I can't seem to disable it. I guess it's for showing which lines GPT sees, but it's really ugly.

[@ash1kh]

I am a programmer and I am not gonna use it ever probably. Continuous improvement and whole army of plugins, customizability, peer coding, live share and the best part it's all free. Beating vscode is not possible anymore. In terms of ai vscode lightyears ahead of anything. You just have to signup for co pilot. Stack overflow fan, no problem captain stack vscode plugin take cares of that, can't afford ai? Hugging face, cody, phind plugins is there for you. Can't run on potato pc, codespace online is there, In short, nothing even close where vscode stands today.
