And for months now Cursor on Windows loves to run a 'q' command which doesn't fucking exist..so every time it executes a command line command I get this: C:\projects\my_project>q^D^C 'q' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. 1.0 my ass.

this is not super constructive, is it really the top comment on HN

In many cases the most recent comment is put on top, so it doesn't get buried at the bottom. That priority diminishes as the minutes pass.

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.

One of the first features we added to FastMCP 2.0 [1] was server composition and proxying (plus some niceties around trying to reuse servers whenever possible) for exactly this reason, so that you can ideally run a single instance of your preferred servers without replicating the setup over every application. In some ways, MCP standardized how agents talk to APIs but introduced a new frontier of lawless distribution! This is something that has to improve.

> If I have VSCode, Cursor, and Claude open This is good user feedback. If Cursor is "Claude + VSCode", why do you need the other 2 open?

for me, I’ll keep doing work on the codebase in a separate vscode while Cursor’s agent is wiling away at it, so as to not be distracted or interrupted by the agent activity in the corner of my screen. and then i’ll have a claude or aistudio tab open doing bigger analysis or planning tasks, reading papers together, etc.

What would you say to somebody who doesn't trust Cursor to "take the reigns off" and go "agent mode" and do such large changes? Even with "checking/approving/having the final say" as a user, I feel there is time lost if the AI does not do the changes the right way/makes small pesky mistakes.

Autocomplete: yes

Asking questions: yes

I know everybody is all into agent mode and it isn't a Cursor specific thing, I'm just confused why everybody is into it.

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

Pro isn't a static plan. Pro subs can access Claude Code but are paying via API metering. I have it setup at home and, while I haven't used it much, it can quickly add up. What I did do, because my personal projects aren't too complex, is moved the model from Opus to Sonnet which is about 1/5 the cost. For day-to-day stuff I have ProxyAI (on IntelliJ, continue.dev works for this too) pointed at Mistral's Codestra for…

Pro is indeed a static CC plan as of yesterday. It won't automatically switch over, you have to re-login inside of Claude Code.

That's a great question. Probably not. IDK. I'm also only paying this much to maintain momentum on a personal project. I also know in a year, these LLM products will change drastically, pricing tiers will transform, etc.. So I can't predict what will happen in a year but things will probably be cheaper. Edit: On the other hand, the state of the art tools will also be much better in a year, so might keep that high pri…

I think there is definitely room to price AI tools way higher. Developers are being slowly boiled like frogs right now. Getting addicted to AI tools to the point they can’t work without them, that’s when you raise the price.

I see it as an investment into my future. I was able to make progress on a personal project with Claude Code which I failed at using other tools. Yes, I will, and apparently have, paid multiple hundreds of dollars to get the project release ready. But I definitely need to keep in mind that I'm not going to at that velocity all the time, which would make the $200 price point not justifiable long term.

What's Junie? I am currently trialing the AI assistant in IntelliJ but I didn't see that name anywhere.

this one - https://www.jetbrains.com/junie/

It behaves weirdly. I opened a Python file in PyCharm and asked Junie: "Tell me about this file". It then proceeds to do about 15 LLM calls, then ends up with a "git diff" and then "Done" (the implementation is error-free). What's the value add here?
