I recently started using Cursor for all my typescript/react personal projects and the increase in productivity has been staggering. Not only has it helped me execute way faster, similar to the OP I also find that it prevents me from getting sidetracked by premature abstraction/optimization/refactoring. I recently went from an idea for a casual word game (aka wordle) to a fully polished product in about 2h, which woul…
I have tried both cursor and cline (formerly continue dev), and I don't seem to see the incredible performance boost using cursor like a lot of people say
Small correction: Cline is former Claude Dev. Continue Dev is a different extension which continues with the same name.

I'm talking about web/app UI validation, are we talking about the same thing? Does F# provide ability to display validation errors with good UX to users using your app? How does it know what user friendly error messages look like? Okay very simple example prompt that will generate 100+ lines of code. "Give CRUD example using shadcn, react-hook-form, zod, trpc to create an example of a TODO app" Which programming lang…
I'm not saying that this is a solved problem today. And yeah, llms are also helpul here. What I meant is that this can be solved by a good language. But you would have to use F# (or another language with a feature like type providers) on the frontend.
But even TypeScript can infer types in many cases?

This is actually how I would use AI: if I forgot how to do a conversion task, I would ask AI to tell me the command so that I can run it without rejiggering my memory first. The pandoc command is literally one line with a few flags; it's easily reviewable. Then I run pandoc myself. Same thing with the multitude of other rarely used but extremely useful tools such as jq. In other words, I want AI to help me with invok…
I do that constantly. jq's syntax is especially opaque to me. "I've got some JSON formatted like . Give me a jq command that does . Google, but better.

The naysayers used to bother me, but then I realized it’s no skin off my back if they don’t want to become familiar with a transformative technology. Stay with the old tools, people are getting excited for no reason at all, everyone is just pretending to be more productive! It reminds me of how blackberry users insisted physical keyboards were necessary and smartphone touchscreen users were deluded.
I think most naysayers are threatened by the inevitable decimation of our value. Supply and demand laws are going to annihilate this profession
More, more more is always the reaction to transformative technologies because us humans have this underlying obsession with growth and scale.
For instance, in 1910 Fords manufacturing lines were producing about 7,000 cars a week. As robotics, conveyance and general automation was introduced they didn't hire less workers, they hired more. Now they produce millions of cars per year.
Software will be the same. Devs will be expected to write more code, and produce more features. There has been an explosion in AI based hiring since.
I've been using AI to solve isolated problems, mainly as a replacement of search engine specifically for programming. I'm still not convinced of these "write whole block of code for me" type of use case. Here's my arguments against the videos from the article. 1. Snake case to camelCase. Even without AI we can already complete these tasks easily. VSCode itself has command of "Transform to Camel Case" for selection. I…
Just once I'd like to see an article like this from someone who's not currently working on an AI tool (some sort of Khan Academy tutor in this case)
As a learning tool and for one offs AI can be very nice.

Completely agree. I find it fails miserably at business logic, which is where we spend most of our time on. But does great at generic stuff, which is already trivial to find on stack overflow.
