I hope access to Code Review in GitHub will be available to paid users soon! It's going to be a game changer as a first level of code review before real people get involved with the PR.
We’re running a preview of the code review feature right now, and are looking forward to opening it to all paid subscribers soon.
If you’d like to try it sooner, I can hook you up - just email my HN username @github.com :)

Unfortunately for me in enterprise it was impossible to convince them to allow us to use cursor since they're not well known like GitHub/Microsoft so they're afraid of what they'd do with our data. We are allowed Copilot and Chatgpt because of an enterprise contract with each. Luckily copilot has been improving but there definitely was a while where it felt way behind the jumps other products have had in the past yea…
... and they aren't concerned with what microsoft is doing with it?

For anyone else who never heard of Windsurf, it seems this was announced a month ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42127882
Tried windsurf and the beginning was amazing, last few days I start realizing that is getting annoyingly stupid and slow. Open reddit and realized lots of people had the same issue with a lot of wild theories about it. I stopped my subscription and I am considering trying cursor just to compare. Tldr;×trying an agent Ai coding assistant was amazing and I think I will never go back!

1. I believe AI is detrimental. It makes us go too fast. It's all about production now, pure efficiency over individuals. 2. AI is too dangerous. Whatever innovations used for benign applications will be eventually used for more dangerous applications such as advanced genetic engineering and the military. 3. AI uses too much energy. It's disrespectful to the resources that we have. 4. AI is an apex technology amongst…
Thank you for your reply. I am currently having a ride with chatgpt allowing me to write applications at 3 times the speed compared to before (where before may be "never" for some technologies) and I am happy for everyone contributing to this. But all your points are well grounded, I will have to figure out a way to think about them, while keeping my day job.
There’s a lot that engineers can due that are well beyond the limits of LLMs. If you really want to keep your day job, I would really commit yourself to that gap when you can!

Has anyone who uses an IDE (e.g., JetBrains, not a code editor) moved to Cursor? I've downloaded it a few times because everyone raves about it, but I've always come back almost immediately because editors can't reliably make changes across projects (among many other things)... What am I missing? FWIW I use GoLand w/ Supermaven, currently.
I can't wait for IntelliJ to get where Cursor appears to be. Being able to combine a great IDE with project-level AI coding will be a huge leap forward.
Seriously, this here right now is the precise moment in time where people will either look back at wondering how such a clear leader managed to sink into insignificance, or not.
I love IntelliJ more than my own kids, but if they don't add "the AI does not just talk about what code to create, it actually creates it, across multiple files and folders", then I'm out.
Just yesterday I made Cursor rewrite the whole ui layer of my app from light-mode-only to light-and-dark-mode-with-switcher in one single sweep, in less than 5 minutes (it would have taken me hours, if not days to do it manually), and this is just not feasible if you have to manually copy-and-paste whatever Jetbrains AI spits out.
Jetbrains — Move. Now!

Tried to move from JetBrains to VS Code with new Copilot Edit mode. Moved back to JetBrains and horribly outdated copy paste workflow ... for now. Disruption is imminent though. (And yes JetBrains AI integration got better but the 'insert code at cursor option' is laughable. There is a command to generate code right in the editor too, but not from chat. Also $10 extra. ) PS: One UI feature that I haven't seen anywher…
Autocompletiok is losing features every day, it seems. Yes, Jetbrains might either be removing features to move them to AI, or breaking features involuntarily in order to move faster to implement AI.
Either way, AI is killing Jetbrains.
