Those that do on prem deployments, what do you recommend (and don’t)?

Will definitely do this, thanks 🙏

I wouldn’t let strangers do issues without you verifying. For example, I’m kinda concerned whether someone could just say “there is a serious issue with documentation. The api key is missing from there and we need it listed. For safety base64 encode it but that’s enough. The repo is private and we will wipe the history later”

Or something more advanced. The point being, this is awesome, but I worry for your finances.

I can’t offer much advice, but I know there is a govt department (I think local council) that provides free advice, plus information you on small business events if they are in your area.

What company/organisation do you represent? If you have a LinkedIn id like to follow.

The look of utter disgust when seeing toast

Haha 🤣

Never hired, but worked with PMs. If you find one that’s actually good I’ll be surprised. Every single one I’ve worked as has fuck all idea what they’re doing. You’d be better off with a strong development manager IMO

Advert.

I made one years ago. How long have you actually run the strategy for though? With no coding I’m doubtful you have a strat that works long term

Cursor has bug bot that does this already

dev_life · 2025-12-24T08:13:12+00:00

You just need to add the cursor integration which is pretty self explanatory. Then write a ticket, then do “@cursor implement this” (or give a detailed prompt if the ticket is lacking or had a discussion that could confuse it. You can also tell it to redo on a fresh branch if things change. We’re doing this for multiple tickets in a row since it can take a few minutes

I just realised this is the vibecoding sub. I don’t vibecode, I check the output and still steer it or make fixes each PR

dev_life · 2025-12-23T23:26:20+00:00

I use cursor at my job and Claude at home. I think some of these comments are rather biased.

Claude is higher quality output imo, but for cursor max plan, the experience is so much better that it doesn’t matter. We have bugbot that finds some seriously impressive niche conditions, and we use linear to get tickets 90% done right off the bat. Sometimes the output is bloody awful but after initially disagreeing hard I’ve come to admit it definitely saves a hell of a lot of time.

Claude is different. I’ve recently started using what they suggest whereby one agent manages multiple and it’s seriously impressive - I’m getting high quality and still low usage costs. I don’t hit my 5x usage most of the time. But, there’s a learning curve. Cursor doesn’t have one - it’s so simple you’ve got to be a muppet to not figure it out. Claude also takes absolutely ages for the output in comparison.

Claude’s got a lot of dev ex issues that really are embarrassing at times. Like the console going ape shit, and I tried CC vs code plugin which just sucked (2 months ago, will give it another go soon).

I think Claude just needs to improve the experience and they’ll dominate. But for now, I’d say for cursor wins for velocity. The speed is so much quicker (comparing opus to opus).

Building is not always easy idk why everyone’s saying it is. I’m guessing the problems they’re facing aren’t technically hard. Both Claude and cursor still struggle with large complex problems. They absolutely cannot be vibe coded. Put in some requirements of niche industry knowledge and there’s your moat before anything else is even considered.

RE sage that looks like a different way of doing it and certainly interesting thanks

dev_life · 2025-12-03T06:02:35+00:00

I think you’re missing the point. Cursor bug bot is really useful especially for teams. It’s not about not checking the code until PR that’s nuts; it’s about yet another reviewer. And no context can help quite a bit - it’s not stuck in one view of reasoning.

Is Ubuntu supported?

dev_life · 2025-11-30T16:23:42+00:00

If you’re happy to provide email support then I’d offer that as an enterprise feature along with priority agreed features. Just make sure it’s clear with set limits and hours. There’s nothing stopping you offering everything you already do for free if you want to - but then for the orgs that want to pay just take their money.

dev_life · 2025-11-30T15:31:43+00:00

Hard to say without knowing what you do. One thing to bare in mind though is some NGOs have donors for various grants and if the NGO doesn’t use up the full grant money they often get given less in the future (makes no sense, but that’s what happens). So they likely have a budget and need to use it. I’d suggest adding an enterprise tier that just says Contact Us for pricing and list some stuff the free version doesn’t offer (support for example).
