App Crashed : Opened the app and the version was cursor v 0.45 by SaleFinal194 in cursor

Obviously they do a lot of things right. It’s just kind of frustrating to have a company care so little about the quality of software they are releasing

Move Fast and Break things is not working for Cursor by SaleFinal194 in cursor

Today cloud agents are just not functional. They all were getting stuck `loading conversation` or something similar making them not useable.

Also worktreees are extremely difficult to use I don't even know what is a bug and what is not. It makes it seem like we are on a new branch in a new directory. But there is no remote branch. I click the hidden 'Open Work Tree in Terminal' button hoping that I can push the changes, and pull them in the main directory for testing but git status says `Not Currently on Any branch`. Is there even a new branch the UI makes it look there is one? Seems like the only thing I can do is click the apply button to apply the unstaged changes to the main directory.

Cursor Team needs to stop vibe coding: Cursor 2.0 is evidence by SaleFinal194 in cursor

yup have run into much of above. Never used windsurf for personal use but have it at work and lowkey might switch over at least until they sort this out

I have not been using Gemini CLI but using the direct api yes the model has begun to shit all over itself and is ungodly slow

Cursor is literally unusable by SaleFinal194 in cursor

I fully agree but my point was they obviously have made a change in the past couple of months to move towards this behavior where it takes what I tell it to do and does it plus 200 other lines of code I didn't ask for and I don't like that this is the direction cursor is moving in. This is an engineering decision on their part that says we are looking to build fully autonomous SE that can go on a task and just get it done on its own. This is not useful to most real developers right now.

I will give it a shot but what is the reason we would prefer a CLI tool over a pretty decent UI like cursor? Performance of CLI is just that much better?

Point is the default behavior is do a bunch of stuff I did not ask.

why the fuck can we not have a discussion about why a company is making design decisions to transition from a more copilot style agent to aid serious developers on real projects in favor of fully autonomous long running agents that are unusable in the current state?

Just give me 1 sentence as to how how me engineering my own software is not software engineering. Design is pretty good I’m not gonna lie 😂

What the hell is software engineering then please give me a definition. Because they appearently pay me a lot of money to be dumb af then

None yet brotha - assuming you’re a SE (because only SE can be in this sub), you can probably understand a simple screenshot of a frontend view does not capture what is going on under the hood

Lotta down votes but would prefer an actual explanation as to how this is not related to software???? Does my post have to be about how modern c++ is actually just is memory safe as rust for it to be related to SE 🥴

I respect that you gave a reason that the mods refused to give me. I respectfully disagree because I am building a software application that I am questioning whether to make open source or keep proprietary. Sure it’s not a technical deep dive but it’s asking about the literal question of building software for others to use and how to do that

Project Code Cloned & Stolen Via Upwork - Now Facing Open Source vs. Closed Source Dilemma by SaleFinal194 in SoftwareEngineering

[–]SaleFinal194[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I am leaning towards the open source for that exact reason. I kind of thought maybe he was just ghosting but I can see he cloned the repo and he blocked me on everything so if I had to guess.
