For Software Composers, as the coding tools get more agentic, we’ll need another AI that we use in parallel for planning while we await the agent’s delivery. tolacapital.com/2024/11/13/t...

The Rise of the Software Composer: A New Era of Software Creation

To be a software composer is to select, arrange and blend pre-existing components, libraries and APIs into a complete and expressive solution.

DX wins the day!

Yeah, agree. It’s very helpful when you can explicitly denote a spec or even better yet a granular workplan. I too find it helpful when giving it direct context with @ references of the part of the code base or files to incorporate in the context window

How do you like to iterate with Cursor to break down complexity? What are your workflows?

I appreciate its ergonomics the most. If you’re doing a lot of traditional development “cursor tab” completion is pretty incredible. If you’re doing chat oriented programming (CHOP) or software composing, it still has a great feel. Cursor Composer’s agent mode and Windsurf cascade are very similar

Our team at @specstory.com launched our very first product iteration today. What is it? An extension for @cursor_ai that allows you to save and share your composer and chat history. Give it a try at marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemNa... and let us know what you think!

There are a lot depending on category... have compiled a fairly good sample set here: github.com/specstoryai/...

No problem, feel free to send along feedback

Its not a 100% fix to losing context within the Cursor IDE itself, but have built an extension for Cursor that allows you to save your composer history to `.md` that you can @ reference in new sessions: marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemNa...

Have you tried Cursor? I think the difference is in mindset. Your planning skills go up a level in importance when using any of the aforementioned tools. You also have to be unnaturally explicit and precise in instructing the LLM under the hood in a way that when implementing yourself is tacit.

Yeah I've enjoyed it. Especially when you have to run package installs or make directory modifications. Specifically its great if you're working with unwieldy JSON that you might want to parse, you can have the agent infer the structure for the programming you have to do around the data structure.

If you're using composer extensively its helpful to: - Write out a spec via markdown - Plan what you want to build - Reference that spec using @ commands in Composer - Build incrementally
