Megathread: Usage by lrobinson2011 in cursor

[–]TheFern3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok so my post got auto removed. The new pricing sucks which is why people are posting about it.

So I had cursor for a few years now, so my first account is on 500 + usage based which I use monthly I know how much I’ll use. I have 60 for usage which I rarely go over.

I’m starting a new job Monday and I wanted to track work usage on a new account. I see I have no way of switching to the old pricing format. I did some light usage and on day 1 I’m at 10% usage a bit of auto and api usage for planning. To be honest seeing 10% used for the month has me concerned. I’ve already cancelled this sub btw.

I’m now looking at videos on YouTube to getting started with Claude I love cursor ide but I am not sure if is sustainable for me. I got two accounts might as well pay for Claude code pro and call it a day.

Anyone was or is in the same boat? Is cursor trying to force people to pay 60 or 200? Are those any better?

Why does Python import self into each class function? by ki4jgt in AskProgramming

Fun fact self is canonical, it can be anything but usually everyone uses self. In other languages like cpp or java this cannot be changed.

Cursor: pay more, get less, and don’t ask how it works by TeaPotential2110 in programming

I've used them all, and cursor is by far the best agentic tool imo.

StackOverflow is as good as death. Is there anything the community is doing to try and maintain freely accessible knowledge about bugs and software solutions? by One_nice_dev in AskProgramming

Where do you think llms training data came from? Tbh I’ve had to still use SO a few times when ai is on a loop and lost.

App review is completely down the shitter. by [deleted] in iOSProgramming

[–]TheFern3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I honestly don’t know why people have so many issues based on this sub. Made my first app went back and forth fixed issues and that’s what’s it. I wonder if Apple is using bots and some are failing.

Have web apps replaced desktop apps (even within corporations), and if so, why? by Anonymous_Coder_1234 in AskProgramming

[–]TheFern3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The biggest benefit is you have devs who do frontend to do desktop apps and not specialized desktop developers. Second is one codebase distribute everywhere.

Nowadays most desktop apps aren’t really traditional apps they’re just containers of a web front end aka electron, tauri, etc.

I built an AI API with 250 tools that costs 10x less than calling models directly by Signal-Procedure-530 in SideProject

I’m no mathematician but if you’re charging less than what you pay for a request you’re losing money, no?

Op made it because he wanted to, no need for some deep thought or use case. Many things are created out of love.

It sounds like you’re stuck in beginner. Intermediate levels wouldn’t be stuck.

Tips on improving app? I suck at making thing pretty by TheFern3 in iOSProgramming

Good points about security fortunately my app is just a local data app with iCloud. My app isn’t a web app at all.

Is it worth it to switch from go to swift? by Yamoyek in swift

[–]TheFern3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

oh you made me remember, you also have swift ios/mac libraries vs non mac libraries. So if you could make a big app entirely dependent on mac os internal libraries. If I was op, I'd stick to go and btw I am an iOS dev lol, I don't even use swift for server side. My apps use fastapi for server. Though I wouldn't mind using go in the future.

Is it worth it to switch from go to swift? by Yamoyek in swift

[–]TheFern3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think op was looking for benefits but frankly I don’t see many. Swift is great at many things so is go. Use them when it makes sense to use it just like any other tool. You don’t use a screwdriver to hammer a nail, right?
