I asked Cursor + Claude to respond like they're British, so it (a) has a monocle (!?) (b) writes responses like formal letters and (c) apologises for everything. It's perfect 🥹

A response from Claude, within Cursor IDE, which is long and verbose, and very 'British' in general.

Staying alive until you make it! TIL Cursor initially started as an email writing tool before pivoting. 🤯 This is way more inspiring, more touching, and more likely to be learned from than some founders' "earning 100,000 dollars in 2 days" story

Having now Cursor Composer suggest changes, then run the tests, and fix its proposals iteratively is a whole new level in the agentic coding workflow. I don't even have to run the tests myself and share the terminal results with it.

Been playing a lot with front-end in windsurf - just using ai prompting to get the results I'm looking for. Figuring out how to work WITH the AI agent vs just telling it what to do makes such a difference. Few tips that I've picked up on recently... 🧵

Woah. Windsurf AI replicated our design on the first try WITH our theming. I spent 2 hours with GitHub Copilot Workspace and couldn't get anything remotely close. Don't get me started on how bad Gemini for Android Studio is.

I see 3 levels of software building: Director: you only work with prompts. Black box. Manager: you are technical and you understand the code, but probably won’t write much. Engineer: you own every line of code & you use AI to create snippets to incorporate. Which level are you happiest working at?

Will MCP be able to handle the code editing use cases across languages? Do we need a standardized protocol on top of MCP or instead of MCP just for code editing agents to use?

Did you know? The Cursor IDE has a powerful edit mode (hit CMD+K to enable it). I find it quite useful for finding edge cases in my imperative #FlutterDev code. It doesn't always get it right, though! So make sure you tweak the output as needed and discard any unwanted changes. 🙇‍♂️

Cursor is gradually becoming more agentic for coding. But it's a spectrum, not a binary I suspect the path toward "agents" will look like this Start with vertical SMEs in a tight human feedback loop, then slowly improve

This test is a great example of why, while I think AI code assistants are fantastic, you do in fact have to read what they write and understand it lmao

it("rejects tampered data", async () => {
const encrypted = await service.encrypt("test");
encrypted.d = encrypted.d.replace(/A/g, "B"); // Tamper with data
await expect(service.decrypt(encrypted)).rejects.toThrow("Invalid HMAC");
});

One of the pain points of working with Cursor and an iOS project is that Cursor won't index remote packages because they're not part of your workspace, as SPM checkouts are in derived data. But I have a solution!

My Thoughts on Coding with AI Can AI replace programmers? No. Can a novice programmer become a senior programmer with AI? No. To be productive with AI, you need to know what to ask. This kind of knowledge and insight can only be gained through experience as a programmer.

Code docs and annotations is one area I'm quite happy to let AI do most of the work. Using @zed.dev's multi cursor, highlight all the statements I want docs for, "write concise docs pls", and I check and edit. Takes minutes. User docs on the other hand, takes for ever and I hate it.

Accuracy of code completion models on our internal benchmark. The boost our model gets from RLDB is similar in size to doubling the model size, or doubling the amount of training data.
