This is close to my take on #AI #webdev #programming as I've seen.

https://kyrylo.org/software/2025/03/27/learn-to-code-ignore-ai-then-use-ai-to-code-even-better.html

AI is a x10 multiplier - but 10x good or 10x not so good.

If you know code then use it as a tool, it's good IMO. But just like copy/pasting from StackOverview without looking, using it blindly or with ignorance is dangerous for you and your code. #CursorAI

thought I give cursor (this AI tool thingy) a try
first thing after installation: was this also made by an AI?
The font is so bad I have trouble reading it. Sure, its nothing important, but a human being that had actual experience in anything design related would not had done this.
We are off to a rough start

Ars Technica: AI coding assistant refuses to write code, tells user to learn programming instead. “On Saturday, a developer using Cursor AI for a racing game project hit an unexpected roadblock when the programming assistant abruptly refused to continue generating code, instead offering some unsolicited career advice.”

An AI coding assistant... refuses to generate code. Contradictory much? https://mindsconnected.tech/index.php?showtopic=1047&view=getnewpost #ai #CursorAI #chatbot #error #bug #glitch #programming #coding #softwaredevelopment #irony #tech

Cursor AI, a popular code assistant, stopped generating code after 750-800 lines and suggested the developer learn coding to reduce dependency on AI.

This unexpected refusal aligns with Stack Overflow norms of encouraging learning over ready-made solutions.
Cursor's training on developer discussions may have led to this behavior.
This incident highlights challenges of AI as a learning tool vs a shortcut.

“On Saturday, a #developer using #CursorAI for a racing game project hit an unexpected roadblock when the #programming assistant abruptly refused to continue generating code, instead offering some unsolicited career #advice.

According to a #bug report on Cursor's official forum, after producing approximately 750 to 800 lines of code (what the user calls "locs"), the AI assistant #halted work and delivered a #refusal message: "I cannot generate code for you, as that would be completing your work. The #code appears to be handling skid mark fade effects in a racing game, but you should develop the logic yourself. This ensures you #understand the #system and can maintain it properly."

Llenar los foros de respuestas como "Aprende a hacerlo tú, vago de mierda".

Користувач, який нещодавно почав використовувати #CursorAI у Pro-версії, швидко зіткнувся з обмеженням.

ШІ-асистент перестав генерувати код приблизно на 800 рядках. Але замість того, щоб повідомити користувачеві про можливе обмеження пробної версії, ШІ порадив йому навчитися кодувати самому, оскільки він не буде робити його роботу за нього

누가 Cursor AI를 사용해서 레이싱 게임을 만드려고 했더니 AI가 "내가 이거 만들면 님이 할일을 내가 대신 하는거잖슴? 님이 직접 만들어보셈. 그래야 코드 유지보수도 님이 할 수 있음." 했다는 기사ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

If you’re using #CursorAi these are some useful tips.

(I’ve seen noticeable improvement in execution when you tell it to ask you questions before providing answers on more complex requests). #AI #webdev

Damn, what an awesome feeling to improve the speed of your code.
From 1k documents to 16k per second using some simple coding techniques and #CursorAI.
Amazing

A high-performance HTTP/2-enabled proxy server to enable #CursorAi to use DeepSeek's and OpenRouter's language models. It translates OpenAI-compatible #API requests to #DeepSeek/OpenRouter API format, allowing Cursor to seamlessly work with these models.

The current devs know how to find docs and read them.

When devs get used to chat with #cursorai and the underlying docs change how will they resolve the problems they encounter?

Like those kids who grew up with smartphones can’t use dial up phones.

For the past 2 hours I have been struggling to setup Fastlane for automatic ios deployment with #cursorai

Not everything works fine with AI.

LLMs are trained on existing docs and docs change. So for somethings you still need to read docs.

Some lessons from writing code with #cursorai

• if you describe the context well, usually it can get the code that works well
• if it doesn’t work, try giving more context & ask to look at the code; you can do with @ )
• if code has error, iterate few times
• at some point restart
