I have a cursor rule that tells it about directories. Basically just X is UI, Y is BE, Z is auth. Keep it short. It's enough for it to realize it needs to navigate directories.

Does cursor ever read your rules? It is constantly ignoring very clear directives in my .cursorrules file.

I've never used rules. They're not portable to other IDEs, so I've never invested the effort.

I just have a bunch of markdown files with various prompts that I drop into context when I need them.

This is exactly it. Selling the output of a LLM is going to an incredibly cut-throat and low-margin business. The more interesting, novel, and useful work you wrap the LLM in the more defensible your pricing will be. That said I think this can describe a lot of agentic code tools - the entire point is that you're not just talking to the raw LLM itself, you're being intermediated by a bunch of useful things that are n…

This may be old fashioned thinking and the automated loom might come get me but I think traditional software products with enthusiastic customers, some kind of ecosystem will benefit with AI being used.

However they will benefit in a way like they benefit from faster server processors: they still have competition and need to fight to stay relevant.

The customers take a lot of the value (which is good).

While there is a lot of fear around AI and it's founded I do love how no one can really dominate it. And it has Google (new new IBM) on it's toes.

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.

All EU countries provide income support to farmers.

That's what I said )) It's not "pet food".

IMO it's a strategic misstep to try and create their own IDE with a fork of VS Code. I'm only going to consider AI Tools that integrate with my IDEs (primarily VS Code + Rider) as such my AI weapons of choice are now: augmentcode.com (fave), GitHub Copilot, Gemini Code Assist and now Claude Code now that I can use it with my pro plan.

Which plan are you on with Augment?

I myself run five IDE's in parallel with ~ 6 terminal sessions all on Claude Code. There's a time and place for each tool. Also, thanks to my Neuralink, I have Linear and Azure MCP's wired directly into my frontal cortex at all times. This makes it really easy to keep our docs up to date without lifting a finger.

Just the Developer plan, haven't hit its limit yet.

I'm surprised nobody is mentioning how cheap copilot pro is. $20 and you get all you can eat inference without using your own api key for the models on vs code agent mode.

Copilot pales in comparison to Cursor Pro. I've trialed it three or four times in the last two years and stopped using it after a few days each time. Honestly, I have no idea why anyone pays for it given the alternatives. My only wish is that Cursor had partnered with Zed. vscode isn't enjoyable.

I'm sure it is but cursor plus API usage is out of reach for my hobbyist usage

Cursor and other VSCode forks connect to Open VSX [1] for extensions. Barring some of the Microsoft extensions, I've found that pretty much all the extensions I use are available and kept up to date on Open VSX. Cursor seems to have enough funding to support their own variants of the Microsoft extensions, like Python and C++. The one issue I've run into is that the VSCode version Cursor uses is several months old, so…

You can change it back to use the normal Microsoft marketplace

How?

Add a `product.json` and set the extension gallery URL through that

``` { "extensionsGallery": { "serviceUrl": "https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/_apis/public/gallery", "itemUrl": "https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items", "cacheUrl": "https://vscode.blob.core.windows.net/gallery/index", } } ```

https://github.com/getcursor/cursor/issues/2195

This is technically against the ToS of the extension gallery though
