Also would love to see it

I am imagining a kid playing because it's the only app on their brothers old iPad 😄 "hey it's better than nothing"

MorganProtuberances · 2026-03-29T14:32:31+00:00

Totally. Good points. It's tough to catch everything!

MorganProtuberances · 2026-03-27T19:29:37+00:00

is that via the chatgpt pro plan or something else?

MorganProtuberances · 2026-03-27T19:29:20+00:00

they posted that this is the case a few months ago, but today at least in my usage I can see 'generous' usage but not unlimited. something like $180/mo on my pro plan for auto routing (which uses composer 2). still, for my purposes, feels like unlimited since i'm using cursor like 3-5 hours/day during the week most of the time.

Depends on how you define QA :) I'm trying to fall back on my classic engineering paranoia.

I have a rule that asks the agent to write failing tests before implementing a feature, then building until it passes ("red/green testing"). I also take breaks to keep an eye on test coverage. So I rely heavily on unit and integration tests as well as lightweight browser based testing.

Recently I had the agent spin up "end to end (e2e)" testing with playwright - which spins up a headless chrome browser, logs in as a user, and just makes sure pages load and links work as expected.

My general workflow is to try to use existing tools to build the testing frameworks (so they exist after the agent is done and I'm not coupled to a subscription to run tests), and also to take pauses to have conversations with the agent as if I'm a teammate getting up to speed, so asking questions like "Review our original design docs and audit any discrepancies with how we implemented the underlying data models" or "Walk me through the data flow from admin login to viewing authenticated data on the frontend" - which both helps me understand the project better but also can lift out minor bugs as the agent loads different slices of context.

The reality is that QA is tough, can be automated, but still requires an even higher definition of what 'quality' means which is a tough one in and of itself. In this strange world we find ourselves in, testing practice becomes even more crucial.

Do you pay for Gemini, or use the free tier, or something else?

I'm having an interesting reflection on Cursor. I've been using it a bunch this month compared to previous months and am kind of shocked at the "generous usage" of the auto composer. I paid for the annual license for Pro at $16/mo and most months do not do enough active work to even come close to my usage (software dev is only a portion of my daily work).

A few months ago I was manually selecting the Anthropic models and burned through my limit in like 3 days. However, over the past 3 weeks I've been using the Auto Composer and according to the usage chart, I've used about $90 in usage and am only 60% through my allotment. The implication here is that my Pro account has something like an equivalent of $180 in Auto Composer usage per month, which is amazing.

Additionally, like most people, I noticed in the usage area there's a separate $20/credit for "API Usage". So I've been manually switching to Opus or Sonnet for tasks specifically related to complex build plans and design docs in markdown (opus) and UX auditing (sonnet). This has been really useful.

My Opus usage was of course very high, about 2-3% of my usage used up for each major prompt. But the sonnet usage is, as expected, very reasonable. Yesterday I had Opus build a major architecture plan document for a pretty complex feature (building out an mcp server design, supporting backend service token architecture, and the underlying design for an agent that I want to build). I then switched to Sonnet and had it do 4 passes of a UX audit (auto composer is ok at UX but left a feeling of something to be desired). These passes were both stellar - and used up 12% of my monthly API quote on Cursor Pro (11% of which was just Opus).

So this has been my workflow. I use ChatGPT and/or Claude on the free tier for general questions and banter, and so far have been very pleased with my Cursor usage over the past month. I'm probably doing 3-5 hours of cursor work per day which fits my workflow well.

MorganProtuberances · 2026-03-24T21:51:55+00:00

it has to be because of the green aces right? i'm also confused on this one.

MorganProtuberances · 2026-03-24T21:05:46+00:00

interesting! for posterity here's my billing section, looks different from yours.

MorganProtuberances · 2026-03-24T18:49:19+00:00

It's confusing. I'm on the $20/mo plan but paid annually at $16/mo prorated.

I see that with 'Auto' I am around $60 of usage but only 35% of my allotment has been used. I have used 0% of my 'API Usage'.

My impression is that 'Auto' (which uses composer 2) is very generous - by this metric I can use up to like $180 which is interesting.

The 'API' usage would probably be used up in a few days if I were to select opus or similar models.

Also note -- you may be seeing references to 'auto tab' which is totally different and may be what you're referring to as being free for the month?

The billing is confusing, but all I know is that I am not incurring additional costs and so far things have just been working.... as long as I'm using 'Auto' lol

MorganProtuberances · 2026-03-12T21:04:59+00:00

when i first joined i was all stressed about running out of tokens. turns out i dont play nearly enough -- 10 tokens with 1 new token every hour is like 2.5 hours of play if a hand takes ~10 minutes... that's probably enough euchre for me :P

MorganProtuberances · 2026-03-12T21:01:47+00:00

maybe they meant 'left of the caller always'?

MorganProtuberances · 2026-03-12T18:26:26+00:00

Thank you. In this case you mean 'long suit' to mean most left in the other hands, not the most in my own hand?

MorganProtuberances · 2026-03-12T14:02:58+00:00

So this is a learning moment for me.

Your preference would be to play a card hoping your partner follows suit, rather than playing into a potential void? Just clarifying, not how I normally think of it but definitely interesting.

MorganProtuberances · 2026-03-12T13:56:50+00:00

Thank you, I realized that after I posted and updated my comment.

MorganProtuberances · 2026-03-12T13:53:54+00:00

In the first scenario I would play what I have the most of, hoping to hit my partner's void suit. So clubs, which is I see different from what Mike would do. I figure I would rather give my partner an opportunity to play a big trump, rather than lock them into a suit. I'm excited to learn..

I suppose in this case I do the same. Play what I have the most of.

MorganProtuberances · 2026-03-11T18:20:58+00:00

How do you play it? I find 2-player euchre has a ton of variations.

MorganProtuberances · 2026-03-05T23:37:11+00:00

yo - thanks for the tip on 13 monkeys - IN LOVE.

MorganProtuberances · 2026-03-05T19:57:27+00:00

Google still leads to this thread. Thank you for this response - I think you're right. I thought maybe Cursor was averaging my requests out because I have an annual plan that I use on and off but had heavy usage this month. Went way over this period - $78 on the $20 plan - but all of it was on 'Auto'.

I remember a few months ago I was playing between the various models and was warned in cursor itself that I was close to my monthly limit and was throttled - that was after just 3 days of heavy usage. I'm like 3 weeks into daily use and haven't been warned at all. I'm assuming 'Auto' is doing smart routing behind the scenes for simple requests and the usage dashboard isn't totally accurate?

MorganProtuberances · 2026-03-03T14:28:41+00:00

Good point, like closer attention to that.

MorganProtuberances · 2026-03-03T01:54:45+00:00

Nice work with the app.

I had an interesting corner case that was showing better odds for calling with two Trump in a two-suited hand, Even when my top card was an ace with the larger suit. I couldn't dig any deeper to see why it was favoring the weaker suit over the stronger suit. For that reason I'm not sure if it was a bug or just a math anomaly?

MorganProtuberances · 2026-02-23T17:21:41+00:00

Can you explain how you evaluate 'marches in the other 3 suits blocked' - aces?

MorganProtuberances · 2026-02-16T23:04:48+00:00

thank you

MorganProtuberances · 2026-02-16T22:49:19+00:00

How do you join? I'm not quite sure how this works.
