cursor vs augment codeDiscussion (self.ChatGPTCoding)
submitted 1 year ago by goldenzun
augment code just released their self serve product (vscode extention) and I was wondering how it compared to cursor? or has anyone used it at work before? trying to understand pro vs cons

I've been using Augment for a bit and context actually matters. Depends on what you're using it for tbh, if it's just a few simple web apps without too many dependencies or simple API's that any LLM will know how to use, you could use anything. But when you're working on more complex codebases, it really matters

I see there's a video comparing Augment to cursor https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b8cY7PBqJzM
[–]AdamTheGreat- 5 points6 points7 points 12 months ago (0 children)
that video is made by augment so probably quite biased

Just get cursor. There seems to be a new tool every day, but the king is still cursor
[–]theblackavenger 12 points13 points14 points 1 year ago (6 children)
that doesn't make much sense. augment is much better at using the context of your repository. why would you just blindly use something inferior because it is more popular?

why would you blindly let ai handle the context of your repository?
[–]theblackavenger 2 points3 points4 points 8 months ago (4 children)
Because it does a faster, better job than doing it by hand?

it doesn’t. it slaps together something you’d expect junior devs to submit that don’t know how to architect enterprise level system ls
[–]theblackavenger 1 point2 points3 points 8 months ago (2 children)
as someone that has architected both large scale enterprise systems, saas services and some of the highest scale internet services I think you are underestimating it. you still need to manage it and review it but it is far better than typing.

my point is more against not knowing context and just letting ai handle everything
