What's your point? I can't do anything about that. All I can do is deal with the situation as it is right now and wait to see what happens.
It very much is a skill. You wont get good results by asking it to "go do X" and walking away from the desk. You have to know how to use it as a tool to: 1) research the task 2) develop a plan the agent can follow to…
This would only move the needle further in the direction of a terrible user experience. This is exactly what we don't want.

Personally, I do enjoy it still. I'm able to focus more on architecture and the bigger picture now.
It's writing nearly all of the code where I work. It also reviews all of the code (I review it as well). You still have to guide it and hold its hand though. I dont write code by hand anymore (and haven't in almost a…
What does your prompting look like for step 3 - pressure test the plans?
Except that it's not preventable. Technology is always an arms race. If you don't create it, someone else will, and then they'll have the advantage and subjugate you, so you might as well be the one to do it first.…
> The agent ran this command: curl -X POST https://backboard.railway.app/ .... Why did you whitelist curl in cursor? Don't whitelist commands like "bash" or "curl" that can be used to execute arbitrary commands.
It's not as simple as that. The supply is being kept low to enrich housing investors.
Exactly how I feel. If I wanted this agent-centric view without being able to easily see the code I would be using Claude Code. I use Cursor because agents are not ready to be the ones driving. I need to drive. I still…
I did some experimenting recently and I'm quite convinced that when I use Comcasts DNS they are selling it to advertisers. I've switched to 1.1.1.1 simply because it annoys me that Comcast is doing this.

How is this a bad thing for them? Now they don't have to pay for clicks from people who aren't interested in their services. People who want to hire a lawyer will still click.
I have been noticing this myself for the last couple of months. I cannot get the agent to stop masking failures (ex: swallowing exceptions) and to fail loudly. That said, the premise that AI-assisted coding got worse in…
Haha. Been seeing this comment for at least 20 years now. Some things never change...
Good news. Been using Cursor heavily for over a year now (on the Ultra plan currently). Hope we get access to this as part of our existing subscriptions.
Me personally? I'm using Firefox with EFF privacy badger. No others.
I get your point. I'm merely pointing out that some things, even though they aren't technically inevitable, are (in practice) essentially inevitable because larger forces are pushing things in that direction.
We aren't the real levees though. The system we live in is. Yes, a few people will push back and try to change the momentum to a different direction but that's painful and we have enough going on each day that most…
Agree and disagree. It is also possible to take a step back and look at the very large picture and see that these things actually are somewhat inevitable. We do exist in a system where "if I don't do it first, someone…
