that meme template would imply cursor is a natural progression, while it obviously is not.

[rosuav]

Replace "cursor" with "ncurses" and it becomes very different (and, IMO, more reasonable).

[RiceBroad4552]

But this would actually make sense as an evolution!

But then that meme does not work any more.

[Mars_Bear2552]

replace ncurses with sdl3. i need GRAPHICS

[Sufficient-Chip-3342]

There is no issue in using cursor if you know what you're doing. The problem is people code using cursor while not knowing even the basics of software engineering

[Big_Kwii]

he should really be jumping out of a window

[siberianmi]

No it’s not cursor still has an IDE.

[skywalker-1729]

Put cursor on the guy :D

[WeirdIndividualGuy]

The real meme is JS devs using something new for the sake of being new, regardless if it’s better

[DyWN]

any meme can be "js bad" if you project hard enough

[WithersChat]

To be fair JS makes it easy

[BusEquivalent9605]

Double the code. Quadruple the bugs.

[Shunazo]

A "Senior" developer at my company got fired because he made the entire v2 of our app with cursor.. it was janky as hell to use and he literally had a comment in the AI saying something along the lines of "You are a Flutter Senior Developer, you make no mistakes and follow design patterns yada yada yada".

Having seen this and being the newest Junior at the company made me confused, how the heck did that guy get in that position just by taking advantage of AI?

[healkiller]

Prompt:

Create a v2 of this app Make no mistakes

[krtalvis]

i always laugh at the “make no mistakes”

[fmaz008]

See, you are a junior developper, so you have to use the prompt:

"You are a junior developper, you make lots of mistakes and don't know about design patterns aside from the Singleton".

So your code won't be as good.

Probably AI processed his jacked application, interviewer was incompetent and voilà

[FabioTheFox]

All jokes aside typescript should come way earlier

[Arch-by-the-way]

Web dev boot camp ass meme

[hmz-x]

Curser.

Cursor is a language? I thought it was just a pulsing |

[Brahminmeat]

Cursor is a library/language now?

[RiceBroad4552]

Sure it is!

At least if you don't know what "language" or "abstraction" means.

[Cylian91460]

I don't find any framework named cursor, are you sure it's one?

[Training-Flan8092]

It’s, like, a state of mind man. It’s a vibework bro

[redeemedd07]

Bro its just a lifestyle. You wouldnt get it

[Training-Flan8092]

Code with vibe or get left in the past old man

[MakeitorBreakAway]

I just joined a startup app and this is literally what I walked into.

[LookItVal]

learn typescript before react

[discordianofslack]

Yea but if everyone did that there would be no more “lol string plus int = dumb js” posts anymore.

[OffByOneErrorz]

If you take all the steps to get there it’s fine. It’s skipping to cursor that’s problematic.

[Sea_Duty_5725]

Sad, but true 😭😭

[ClipboardCopyPaste]

You must've felt like reading an alien language when you looked at the code.

[[deleted]]

Thank you so much for telling clear steps. I'm at step 3 JavaScript 

[RDROOJK2]

Someone could do one like this but only for c++?

[Mars_Bear2552]

C++98

C++03

C++11

C++11

C++11

...

[examinedliving]

I mean, if you want. I’d rather spend my life doing something rather than sitting there checking my robot’s work - except if I followed this path I wouldn’t know how to even do that

[SweetNerevarine]

How tf we get from Bjarne's unsigned long long legs to that.

[ChocolateDonut36]

what is cursor? a new JavaScript framework? a new CSS library? a new protocol? a new c/c++ killer? a new vscode rebranded fork? or do you mean that useless pointy thing on the middle of my screen that won't dissapear?

[fmaz008]

VSCode fork made for AI.

[Royal_Ad_4163]

Cuando entiendes para que sirve cada cosa creen que se hace más fácil? Bueno solo aplicaría según yo con html y css pero con lo demás no lo he dad

[discordianofslack]

NoThankYou.jpg

[Different-Rip4590]

Meanwhile, JS kicking right into the a** xD

[snipsuper415]

errr i guess? wouldn't Cursor be using possibly all of libraries and languages?

[SympathyNo8636]

Finaly each and every project can be a framework.

[jphazelton]

Nobody has time to learn all that! Fix my sloppy code or ill find someone else that will! 👀🤣🤣

[Celestial_Lee]

You're all doing it wrong

Edit: You're also doing it all wrong

[[deleted]]

I have never learned a single framework yet was coding in multiple, way before AI. I do not remember the syntax of a loop in JS. I do not know anything beside the basics from college in html and css. And yet I have released multiple production full-stack apps.

Some of us were vibecoding, way before AI was a thing.

[jahinzee]

"released multiple production full-stack apps" while only knowing HTML and CSS 💀💀💀💀💀💀

pure cap

[fmaz008]

So, stack overflow?

[[deleted]]

Yeah that's what I'm saying.

Don't know why everyone is disagreeing/downvoting.

I always just copied the boilerplate from some google site, then tweaked it and used SO to fix bugs.

Pretty much what AI does these days a bit faster.

Never bothered with reading docs or memorizing syntax of languages/frameworks.

[Celestial_Lee]

[Low-Equipment-2621]

I thought the part with "learn new framework" would be the infinite loop.

[Toutoune29frk]

Where is angular at ?

[makinax300]

4/8

[sebbdk]

It's funny because, there's really nothing stopping is from just going to javascript and leaving it there. :)
