I can’t be the only one for which the Python support in Cursor has been absolutely garbage the past week. I’m super disappointed with Cursor. I wanted to love it
Anyone tried Junie from JetBrains? Im super happy with it. I’m not sure how it compares to other coding agents though.
I still don't understand how cursor is making any money at all. I spend so much time inside cursor, that I am spending 10-20$ per day on additional requests. Now if I connect model provider APIs to windsurf, I'd be spending upwards of 100$ due to amount of tokens I use through the API per day. And if I connect my own API key to Cursor, I immediately get rate limited for any request, because I go well above 50 per min…
> so much time is spend waiting for the request to complete (while I work on another part of the app in a different workspace with Cursor). You can open up to three parallel chat tabs by pressing Cmd+T https://docs.cursor.com/kbd Each chat tab is a full Agent by itself!

Ha, same. How do you use it? I tried all the fancy context management stuff multiple times, but I mostly just have a chat buffer open and copy paste stuff manually. Text wrangling is so damn efficient in Emacs. I pay around 10$ to Anthropic per month in API tokens for pretty heavy usage. With deliberate context management (I found keeping it small and focused vastly improves responses), cost is really not an issue. D…
> tried all the fancy context management stuff multiple times, but I mostly just have a chat buffer open and copy paste stuff manually. As of last week you can insert a link to a plain-text file in a chat buffer to include its contents in the prompt. It must be on a line by itself. In Markdown it looks [like this](/path/to/file) with Org links in Org chat buffers. This feature is disabled by default to minimize confu…
As someone who has two annual subs of Cursor Pro (one from student account and another from Lenny's newsletter), I just spent $100 on Claude Code and I haven't touched Cursor AI for any coding tasks since. If you already spend anything near or over $100 on Cursor, it's no brainer. The agent experience is night and day. No more wrong tool-calling, premature ending of conversation, failure to apply changes or overwriti…

Does anyone know how Claude code compares to using Aider with anthropic API? I have been using the Claude.ai interface in the past and have switched to Aider with Anthropic API. I really liked Claude.ai but using Aider is a much better dev experience. Is Claude Code even better?
ChatGPT Codex is on another level for agentic workflow though. It's been released to (some?) "plus" ($20/month) subscribers. I could do the same thing manually by making a new terminal, making a new git worktree, and firing up another copy of aider, but the way codex does it is so smooth.

How are you using more concurrent sessions?
You can generally do map-reduce, also you can have separate git worktrees and have it work on all your tickets at the same time.

The market for AI-assisted development is exploding and token costs are plummeting all the time. It makes sense for them to subsidise usage to capture market share in the short-term with the expectation that servicing their users will cost them less in the future.
> It makes sense for them to subsidise usage to capture market share in the short-term with the expectation that servicing their users will cost them less in the future. Switching costs are zero and software folks are keen to try new things.
That makes the opportunity cost of switching significant.
(I'm not really a coder/programmer/engineer).

The.global food market is so heavily subsidized that is almoat impossible that your dog food is not subsidized. Animal feed is even more subsidized.
Commercial animal feed is subsidized. So are some forms of human food in many countries. Pet food is not subsidized in my country nor the EU. If any countries do subsidize pet food, they are the exception. Maybe the US? Pet food is often manufactured from the waste of other processes, including the human food industry, but that is not a subsidiary.
