Re: Claude Code now supports hooks

#52

Would love to see this in Cursor. My workaround right now is using a bunch of rules that sort of work some of the time.

As an ex-Cursor user myself, is there any reason that you’re still using it? Genuinely curious.

That tab autocomplete and predicting what I'm going to edit next is the best I've found.

The rest I can take or leave (plenty of good or better alternatives)

I've been using cursor for last 1 year but haven't tried Claude Code, Do you think it has gotten better?

Cursor is still the best when you don’t have access to a Claude subscription.

You get CC when you sign up for their $20 plan also.

As an aside, people say AI will eliminate coding jobs, but then who will configure these hooks? Or think about adding such a feature?

These kinds of tooling and related work will still be there unless AI evolves to the point that it even thinks of this and announces this to all other AI entities and they also implement it properly etc.

Without Opus (larger model), for $20 you get only Sonnet. $100 and $200 plans have Opus.

To be frank? I can't justify paying for a single-purpose LLM service subscription: Cursor has have a 1-year free educational plan, and for general-purpose multimodal reasoning model work (e.g. OCR, general knowledge reference, math computations, prose processing), I already have a ChatGPT Plus subscription. It's the streaming service dilemma all over again.

To misuse a woodworking metaphor, I think we’re experiencing a shift from hand tools to power tools.

You still need someone who understands the basics to get the good results out of the tools, but they’re not chiseling fine furniture by hand anymore, they’re throwing heaps of wood through the tablesaw instead. More productive, but more likely to lose a finger if you’re not careful.
