Unfortunately, I think Cursor is making progressively more difficult to use other AI provider via extension, mostly due to the fact that they are reserving the secondary sidebar for their own chat interface. This makes it super unpractical to use the Codex and Claude extension, as now they all need to share the primary sidebar. (Before it was not optimal, but it was at least possible.) As many have pointed out, the c…
Reading comments, I’m curios why would someone spend thousands for LLM coding? What are you building to justify these skyrocketing token consumption? I’ve been using AI coding since GitHub copilot was in beta, used all IDEs in the market, and had very few occasions when I passed the $20 subscription limit. And when I did, that was when I decided to move from cursor to CC and Codex, and still, using them everyday and…

I've heard rhetoric like "we have to use LLMs to stay competitive now" which attempts to justify the cost

I think if you’re a professional and you’re actually coding for >4 hours per day it makes sense. Also if you’re one of those weirdos that likes to command an army of agents.
But I do check the generated code, make sure it doesn’t go banana. I wouldn’t do multiple features at the same time as I have no idea how people are checking the output after that.
I like AI coding and it accelerated my work, but I wouldn’t trust their output blindly

I find it puzzling whenever someone claims to reach "flow" or "zen state" when using these tools. Reviewing and testing code, constantly switching contexts, juggling model contexts, coming up with prompt incantations to coax the model into the right direction, etc., is so mentally taxing and full of interruptions and micromanagement that it's practically impossible to achieve any sort of "flow" or "zen state". This i…
"My flow state is better than yours"? Point is, I get engaged with the thing and lose track of time.
I'm happy w my VS Code harness which has also improved A LOT just with the last update alone.

1. Cursor is multi-model, meaning you can use at least a dozen different models. 2. Cursor's UI allows you to edit files, and even have the good old auto-complete when editing code. 3. Cursor's VSCode-based IDE is still around! I still love using it daily. 4. Cursor also has a CLI. 5. Perhaps more importantly, Cursor has a Cloud platform product with automations, extremely long-lived agents and lots of other features…
Computer use in the cloud for me is THE killer feature.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
> does not imply working on multiple features at one time. How can multiple parallel agents some local and some in the cloud be working on a single task? How can: > All local and cloud agents appear in the sidebar, including the ones you kick off from mobile, web, desktop, Slack, GitHub, and Linear. (From the announcement, under “Run many agents in parallel”) …be working on the same task? Subagents are different, but…
They are confused in the word they use: the article on what Cursor is pushing does not, according to ^F, mention "swarm" at all. Since we have a word for multiple agents working on one task, it is probably best not to use that word if you are referring to multiple agents working on multiple tasks, right? I bring it up not to be pedantic, but because if you think it implies multi-tasking and dismiss it, you are missin…
The OP is fundamentally expressing the opinion that single task threads are easier to keep track of.
Agree / disagree? Sure.
…but dipping into pedantry about terms (swarm, subagent, vine coding, agentic engineering) really doesn't add anything to the conversation does it?
You said:
> I think you misunderstand "swarms of agents", based on what you say above.
…but from reading the entire post I am pretty skeptical anyone was confused as to what they meant.
Wrong term? Don't care. If someone calls it a hallucination? Also don't care.
That cursor is focusing on “do stuff in parallel guys!”? Yeah, I care about that.
> it is probably best not to use that word if you are referring to multiple agents working on multiple tasks, right?
Not relevant to the thread. Also, I work with people who casually swap between using these exact words to mean both things.
I donnnt caarrrrre what people call it.
…when the meaning is obvious from the context, it doesnt matter.
