I work in a cleanroom to fabricate semiconductor devices and I spend hundreds of euros per hour to use specific tools which mostly just use electricity and maintenance. Should we complain that it’s too expensive or should we use them because they’re worth the price? Things have a price for a reason. It’s up to you whether it’s worth paying that or not.

We are talking about personal use and then people don't pay for it out of their own pocket but the company's. At least I hope so because otherwise it would be very dumb.

There is no free lunch. Even if a company pays for it instead of you, their LLM costs per developer will be factored in to what they are willing to provide as compensation. So one way or another, the end result is you get paid for less for the same amount of work today.

Have you tried the Jetbrains agent, I think it’s called Jennie? I am trying it right now and it seems decent enough but I haven’t tried Cursor as I don’t really like vs code.

Jetbrains Junie is pretty good and comparable to Cursor in my experience. And since it is already included in my Jetbrains license, I have had no need for Cursor.

VSCode with extensions Copilot [autocomplete] + CLINE [AI chat] + FOAM [obsidian-esk markdown support] is goat. There's no way a closed-source alternative to going to compete with this.

Do you use foam for your notes or for llm memory?

foam is just for notes and MARP slides

I was today years old minus maybe a few months when I learned this, and I had seen it referenced so many times.

This one is not particularly new. I wanna say that GOAT was new in the early 90s.

wasn't ali the goat in 70s?

That sum is ridiculous, but not everyone is only programming for bigcorp. I've had Cursor Pro for something like 3 years on my own dime. So yes hundreds of hundreds of dollars.

> I've had Cursor Pro for something like 3 years How do you own Cursor for 3 years, when even ChatGPT is not that old? The earliest Cursor submission to HN was on October 15, 2023 --- not even 2 years old [0]. [0] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37888477

Not accusing anyone of anything, but this thread feels filled with automated marketing from all over the place.

It’s more of a ticking time bomb because it relies so heavily on upstream model providers who all have competing products, particularly Claude Code.

I think about this daily. More devs are starting to pick up on Claude Code. The initial “not an IDE!” scare is usually diminished within the initial session. I don’t think the future of agentic software development is in an IDE. Claude Code gives me power to orchestrate - the UX has nothing to do with terminal; it just turns out an agent that lives on the OS and in the filesystem is a powerful thing. Anthropic can an…

How are people using Claude Code day to day without spending a lot? I tried it on a moderately complex task and it chewed through tokens at an alarming rate. I quickly spent $2 and hadn’t even arrived at an adequate solution yet. I’ve heard other people say they’ve spent $10-20 in a coding session. I don’t see how that’s sustainable for me, so I’ve stuck with my $20/month Cursor subscription.

I love Cursor, but it feels like a ticking time bomb with extensions not being updated at the same rate as VSCode. Also another issue I am starting to see is the lack of shared MCP servers. If I have VSCode, Cursor, and Claude open, each one is running its own instance of the MCP server. You can imagine that with a dozen or so MCP's, the memory footprint becomes quite large for no reason.

It’s more of a ticking time bomb because it relies so heavily on upstream model providers who all have competing products, particularly Claude Code.

And models eat apps over time. If you build an app that’s valuable, OpenAI takes note.

All of these agents work on local files... do you mean local LLMs?

No, he basically means thay companies will not allow LLMs on their own code, I think. I work in a multinational conglomerate, and we got AI allowed ... 2-3 weeks ago. Before that it was basically banned unless you had gotten permission. We did have another gpt4 based AI in the browser available for a few months before that as well.

Correct. I don't want to circumvent rules but sometimes it feels like falling behind, like for reviewing MRs.

They use a plan - Pro and Max are static plans with different caps over 5 hour sessions.
