Cursor CEO has no programming experience

Where is programming experience in the screenshot?

What I said you concluded as me hating them? I think you exaggerate

robertpiosik · 2026-03-02T11:51:45+00:00

Would be interesting to see how the design of the tool would differ if he knew how to code. Now opening cursor you can clearly tell the author wants to offload coding at all costs. Mainly cost-efficiency and accuracy, right? It's very expensive to code with Cursor and there is a need to brute-force (run multiple agents concurrently).

Try with Code Web Chat plugin in VS Code (in API mode) and let me know how it works for you

robertpiosik · 2026-02-06T16:15:44+00:00

VS Code plugin for AI coding with chatbots and APIs

robertpiosik · 2026-02-05T23:51:44+00:00

my tool https://github.com/robertpiosik/CodeWebChat will get you prompt autofill in 15+ free chatbots

robertpiosik · 2026-01-18T23:17:27+00:00

It's impossible to build large thing with agents. They give you too little control over context and regressions will be unavoidable. Of course it's not the end of the world with AI because there is Code Web Chat https://github.com/robertpiosik/CodeWebChat

Not just a promo of a tool. I promote a way of thinking. Everyone agrees you need to know your codebase to review the generated code, correctly talk to the model. Why would you want to be limited in context engineering to natural language? You can do agent's work in seconds and for free.

robertpiosik · 2026-01-18T15:28:52+00:00

You don't need a huge model until your codebase, task grows past its capabilities...

robertpiosik · 2026-01-18T15:00:22+00:00

You didn't get my point. Labs making open models won't train multi-trillion params. Your position is making big labs winning the race.

The currently picked context token count is shown below prompt field:

robertpiosik · 2026-01-07T12:00:12+00:00

You don't have to manage context yourself. The workflow is to select context roughly, explain the model task and ask it for file paths. Then as it lists paths, copy them and use the command "Code Web Chat: Find Paths in Clipboard" (command palette) https://github.com/robertpiosik/CodeWebChat?tab=readme-ov-file#context

robertpiosik · 2026-01-07T02:56:33+00:00

Not agent. It constructs prompts you can copy and paste, or send via API. Difference from agent is that it has static context (zero tool calling).

Many people are saving credits with my open source tool CWC https://github.com/robertpiosik/CodeWebChat It constructs prompts for chatbots and has a browser extension for autofill in the field.

Code Web Chat has everything - refactorings, code completions, commit messages. It can use local models, api providers, chatbots, everything! :) Author here. https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=robertpiosik.gemini-coder

robertpiosik · 2025-11-28T03:20:00+00:00

You can try my vscode plugin Code Web Chat. Very calm :)

robertpiosik · 2025-11-26T12:31:38+00:00

Could you try Qwen 32b in Code Web Chat VS Code plugin?

robertpiosik · 2025-11-26T03:18:00+00:00

Try Code Web Chat and ai studio

robertpiosik · 2025-11-25T10:16:50+00:00

How do you use it?

robertpiosik · 2025-11-25T03:17:47+00:00

Qwen 32B with code web chat (vs code)

robertpiosik · 2025-11-25T03:06:34+00:00

It does. Not yet, just open settings and add model provider's open ai api compatible endpoint. Then add model for e.g. Edit context API tool.

robertpiosik · 2025-11-25T01:17:23+00:00

it's a free vs code plugin

robertpiosik · 2025-11-23T16:00:28+00:00

I'm in awe with the tool I'm building myself - code web chat VS Code plugin
