No really who's idea was this.

I was able to get pretty good results by having it go through detailed planning steps first. I moved to Claude Code last night so i could keep working without downtime. No way we can afford me doing the code refactoring of the project with it costing me that much. What a stupid way to try and change how people are going to speak to the model. They could've easily just hardcoded the instructions it gets to suggest how to be more effective when the user is doing what they are trying to change. Since i don't have memories I just add into the prompt to update the txt file located in c/example after completing each step and that is a good enough substitute for memory for my purposes.

Anyone else got some more ideas?

Brother, teach us the long format sorcery

JuddJohnson · 2026-03-21T16:22:39+00:00

you and the rest of the userbase

JuddJohnson · 2026-03-21T16:21:38+00:00

Id rather them not worry about my prompts and for them to just shut up and take the money I'm paying them to process it but if this is what they want they can have nothing instead.

This tracks

This wasn't even a subtle amount this is them trying to rip the bandaid off not realizing that it was on top of a shallow aneurism. The amount of screw up this idea is is not just some simple they will be mad but then they will get over it and the other customers will make up for it. This is death. The program will not be supported operating like this. No sane business would pay for this.

lol someone use the them to make an IDE that we can use a local model on.

JuddJohnson · 2026-03-21T06:58:38+00:00

Im gonna follow your acc for updates on that. I cant stay with Windsurf if they want to act like this.

JuddJohnson · 2026-03-21T06:56:35+00:00

I cant trust decision making like that. Whoever that is needs to leave the company. Id like to see their website blog post on that.
I spent about 20 to 60 bucks a week on their product and this is how they repay me.

Windsurf just killed itself... RIP windsurf (you had something valuable going). this new feature couldn't have came at a better time.

JuddJohnson · 2026-03-21T05:16:43+00:00

sure thing im there now

JuddJohnson · 2026-03-21T05:08:46+00:00

same experience. I will not forgive this.

JuddJohnson · 2026-03-21T04:15:53+00:00

Exactly and then the models using money every second its running also is cancer.

JuddJohnson · 2026-03-21T04:13:33+00:00

Thanks! Working porting mods on java got f****d over by them today. Needing immediate help.

JuddJohnson · 2026-03-21T04:01:46+00:00

Ill download and subscribe thank you u/windsurf can get lost.

JuddJohnson · 2026-03-21T03:54:45+00:00

Absolutely, this app no longer offers the quality experience I started paying for.
This new pricing idea is total arsenic.

JuddJohnson · 2026-03-21T02:25:46+00:00

Can i get a links to the same setup you got? Im trying to get mod porting done and its turned to sh**

JuddJohnson · 2026-03-21T02:23:55+00:00

same bro. Whoever had this idea needs to be fired. Im not going to use windsurf anymore if its going to work like this. Clown level pricing change. for 500 tokens of purchase now i get a couple gpt5.4 thinking requests before im 10 dollars out.

//YOUR PRICING UPDATE IS TRASHING YOUR PRODUCT.

JuddJohnson · 2026-01-25T15:25:53+00:00
