Love seeing these kids building something cool. I think practically to win, a new product cant just be VSCode + AI, it has to be way way way better than VSCode for true adoption. It's similar to Zed. VSCode but with Rust is cool, unlikely to flat out win. Excited to see this progress!

Im more interested if there is a way to allow cursor edit multuple files at once and create new ones, so that i dont have to go from file to file an apply changes myself. And create files myself. To work more like an agent. And i think a good improvement would be to have the ability to import some existing desingns(pre prepared prompts) and generate the entire page for example(if you are building web apps) and then you can edit the file and adjust it at your needs. Maybe it could show you overview of the entire project and recomentations for the next pages or screens based on the pattern you use and your coding style. There are many ideas how it can be improved.

@@Xfacta12482 I hate AI in coding. I hate it! It takes all the joy out of coding. Instead of thinking through problems and solving them I am just reviewing and debugging ai code when Im in the editor. Obviously I still need to plan and architect the design up front, but a lot of my day is now just talk to ai. Check code and work through the odd bug. So yeah sadly Im pretty sure you will double your speed with this. You might (like me) wish it wasn't true though

I agree with you brother & i don’t. Not everyone can be as smart as you & need a little help right, but at the same time i hate cursor it’s so time consuming it if i want to click on something i have to type a question just to comment out or write a line of code

will this force developers to work in a certain way? It looks like they are forcing their own paradigms and semantics on users. How configurable will it be?
@therainman77772 ай бұрын
Cursor is basically a superset of VS Code, so it doesn’t really force you to do anything. If you like you can ignore all the added functionality and just use it as you would VS Code. And if you want to use the added functionality, you can use it to whatever extent you like.

I've been using Cursor for about 3-4 weeks now. It is incredible. I love that it is a fork of VSCode and when the Cursor setup was complete, it mimic'd my vsCode setup 100%. Amazing to get up and running with.

All these LLMs are not going work 100%. We need to standardize coding or have a standard to specify standards, then code generation can be automated accurately. E.g. Say you issue a command "book a hotel" the APIs should be standardized, so you can write a single piece of code which can work to book any hotel. Right now, there is too many variables with languages and APIs, making it hard to automate.

A solution would be to build a functional coding-library with modular stacks so devs can fine-tune what their AI defaults too.

@Xfacta124822 ай бұрын
They're hiring a UI/UX lead under the "Design Engineer" title, which is a giant red flag to me honestly. Those are NOT the same jobs yet people think they are, for some odd reason. They want someone who can A)conduct good user research B) design and C) also write good code. Aka, do 3 full-time jobs across 3 TOTALLY different disciples. There are so many people in UI who have absolutely no business being there, and its because people just hire front-end devs and expect them to be unicorns.

Once upon a time there was a really smart wolf. Instead of wasting time and effort on hunting itself, it hanged around humans and easily could survive. With time, it became humans best friend - A Dog. Initially it was a mutually beneficial relationship but later it became optional for human. I think, now its very likaly that humans are going to become best friend of AI and also it's pet!!
