#52Sounds very cool. I wanted to try this out, so I opened Windsurf for the first time in ages and clicked the "Upgrade Available" button, which sent me to: https://windsurf.com/editor/update-linux Did you install using apt or apt-get? If so... 1. Update package lists sudo apt-get update 2. Upgrade Windsurf sudo apt-get upgrade windsurf Whle `apt-get upgrade windsurf` will technically upgrade Windsurf, instructing users…
hiya! team noticed your comment and agreed - and it is fixed.

#53Earlier quoted context omitted.
I prefer IDEs like Zed that don't lock me in to their ecosystem and force me to "log in" to use them.
`codeium` which is now `windsurf` started out as a vscode fork IIRC
you missed the point. Zed develops and pioneers ACP (Agent Client Protocol), which I can also use in other editors and with other agents. at the moment, only Neovim is available as an alternative editor, but nothing stops, say, JetBrains from implementing it. I can plug Codex, Gemini, Claude Code, and Goose directly into my editor of choice.

Did you also generate this with “AI”?

#57I really think more people should give Windsurf a go. It's really good. I'm a senior engineer and do a mix of agentic and regular coding and I really think people are looking past Windsurf. As the conversation shifted towards Cursor vs Claude code vs Codex people seem to have stopped mentioning it which is a shame. Source: user for 12 months - not a shill. Codemaps was a very pleasant surprise when it showed up.
I co-sign this as a similarly-credentialed person. I use windsurf at work and recently started enjoying Claude Code, but the UX of Windsurf is actually a legit value add. Codemaps especially - been using them for weeks and they're excellent. Ask me again in a year maybe; churn in code could make maintaining codemaps annoying, but even that seems solvable.
appreciate the feedback! just a reminder codemaps are based on snapshots of your code when you run them; technically there's nothing to maintain, because you just rerun them if you need to.

I as a big Windsurf advocate, miles ahead of Cursor IMO but I've fully switched to Codex these days. The cloud environments are just such a nice feature.
Still like Windsurf though their pricing is what drove me to not roll it out across my company.

#60So it is the same thing when I ask Claude to build me mermaid charts of code flows? So no point in this tool?
Btw, claude code is a lot better at graphviz than mermaid! I have been using it a lot for architecture designs.
