The only reason I use Cursor is because I want an ide with agents sometimes. I do not want a gui for just agents. I already have Claude for that if I wanted it. If they're planning to get rid of the ide and make Cursor purely vibe coding, they've lost me as a customer. Quite honestly, I've turned off almost all of the LLM features in Cursor. No more tab completion. No more agents for little changes. This week, the on…

It looks like they revamped the agents window. They will not remove vscode bits

Maybe I'm just behind on the features, I didn't even know there was an agents window. There's an agents sidebar.

Then do you think this new data entry position is going to be smas well paying as your current one?

Better paying, way higher leverage.

The fact that this is an AI generated comment makes this far funnier, despite being true.

Just switched to Claude code with a max20 sub for ~200$/mo. Getting the same load done as previously with cursor api calls going over 7000$/mo. Now using the vscode/cursor plugin and have CC within cursor tabs natively - good combo, can recommend!

Why does nearly all product marketing these days have to be delivered via "personality led" marketing?

"When Agent A writes code in one file that breaks Agent B's assumptions in another file."

Each agent runs in a separate worktree or cloned copy of the repo, independently. When the task is done, a PR is opened. The issue you mentioned gets caught during merge conflicts.

No different than a "real" dev team?

I can't tell you how much it pisses me off when on I click on an article on an english-speaking forum and see a german translation, despite having my browser configured to tell websites that I speak both german and english[1].

I don't agree with this direction. There is entirely too much cognitive load in the interface. The challenge now is how to distill the massive output and information of agent work - this is just surfacing it all to you

What system works better when you have a very large number of elderly people who want to retire and very few young people to work?

Socialism, for one.

You still have many people consuming and not producing, and much fewer people producing.

Capitalism or socialism doesn’t change that.
