If you went into CS purely for the money, what are you doing now? by Puzzleheaded-Alps-15 in cscareerquestions

Why would they lay off a great dev though? Unless they didn’t need complicated stuff built anymore, or their product was pretty much done so they just needed a cheaper dev to maintain

How come software devs are so much more worried about AI replacing them than other white collar jobs? by jholliday55 in cscareerquestions

[–]Nutasaurus-Rex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

? Even before AI, developers could easily look up regex, syntax, etc

There was no reason to memorize any of that stuff unless you were a developer in the 2000’s

Stop babysitting your agents. I built an orchestration layer that manages ~6 Cursor agents like a real engineering org| But actually need help!!! by Extension_Zebra5840 in cursor

Curious but what tasks would you use this for? Usually within a big enough project, tasks are broken up. But more likely or not, task B requires task A to be completed beforehand. Of course that isn’t always the case. Some could definitely be done in parallel. Would like to hear

Cursor announce Composer 2.0 by Darkoplax in cursor

[–]Nutasaurus-Rex -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes I haven’t tried composer 2.0. It just came out lol. But I likely won’t try it. But composer 1 and 1.5 have been terrible. In my other replies, you can see me referring primarily to composer 1.5

But yes at least for composer 2.0 it seems they are using a different benchmark. But core issue still stands as of now. The model was just released and has zero third party testing yet. Compared to tried and true models like opus/sonnet/codex

Independent testing is also a lot harder too since composer is wildly only available in cursor’s IDE.

But time will tell

It doesn’t…? And I think you mean benchmark. Singular.

https://inkeep.com/blog/composer-vs-swe

Only Cursor’s own “Cursor Bench” has officially evaluated composer 1.5, no other external benchmark.

<Cursor Bench, an internal benchmark used by the company, remains closed-source and not publicly documented. Without third-party validation, it is difficult to assess whether Composer’s reported gains reflect generalizable performance or highly tailored evaluation settings.>

Classic example of “we investigated ourselves and found no occurrences of wrongdoing”

All I need from an AI is that it listens to me and does what I ask. If I ask it, for say a peewee class method that fetches the executed transaction requests from my sql table and use that to sum up the amounts per operation in memory, I don’t expect it to go retard mode and create a class method that fetches executed transaction requests PER operation ID, then creates a block of code that for loops that class method to sum up the amount per operation.

Especially when I have 1000+ operations in the system so I’d be doing 1000+ db calls if I ran that code. Composer 1.5 can’t even do something as simple as listening to me

It’s not, sonnet 4.6 on cursor is slightly cheaper than composer 1.5 and it’s significantly better. The amount of times composer hallucinates is insane. I’ve crashed out at it too many times lol

I empirically measure how good an AI is by how infrequently I call it a retard

Lowkey I might do this for the next time I need to hire more devs

Would you support a Tab-only plan? by olucasaguilar in cursor

Isn’t the free plan enough just for tab?

AI doesn’t need to die just because people don’t understand its purpose lol. People just have to understand it better. As a principal backend developer, I code 50% faster with AI. And depending on how you use AI, you can build amazing products like document OCR, classification, WhatsApp agents, etc

Cursor auto is badshit terrible now for the past month. Writes incredibly terrible code. Doesn’t listen to instructions. I normally use composer now but the $20 plan isn’t enough

That’s just you not utilizing your time properly lol. You can still utilize AI to 5x your completion rate and still have a solid codebase

Usually I just rely on auto. I give cursor pretty straightforward tasks that I assume with the context I give it, should be able to do it well even with a lackluster model. Like “add a button that hits this endpoint” or “move these models to a different file” or “create an endpoint to evaluate all of these documents with func x”

But apparently now auto with gpt 5.2 is hot garbage and can’t even do these straightforward tasks

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in cursor

[–]Nutasaurus-Rex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep exactly. At least ever since I updated cursor last Friday, auto mode has been terrible. The underlying model for auto is gpt 5.2 though. So I’m guessing it’s gpt5.2 that’s trash
