I've had great luck with Cursor by simply cursing at it when it makes repeated mistakes. I'll speak to it like a DI would speak to a recruit a basic training.

I've had great luck with Cursor by simply cursing at it when it makes repeated mistakes.
I'll speak to it like a DI would speak to a recruit a basic training.
And it works.
I was speaking to some of the Cursor dev team on Discord, and they confirmed that being aggressive with the AI can lead to better results.
- ThrowawayTestr 2y agoThis makes me sad. Have you tried being really nice and supportive instead? I really don't want to have to yell at my computer for it to work :(
- hollywood_court 2y agoYes and it didn't work. I've actually got Cursor/Claude to curse back at me. Well, not AT me, but it used profanity in it's response once it realized that it was going around in circles and recreating the same errors.
- fragmede 2y agoShit, that makes me a lot more worried for my job than any programming test. My ability to swear at the computer, and not user the word delve, is what sets l us apart from AI. if they can do that, what hope is there for the future?
- zahlman 2y agoDon't worry; you still have the ability to, e.g., type "user" instead of "use" due to muscle memory, and not notice before posting due to your mental auto-correct informed by top-down processing (https://www.slatestarcodexabridged.com/Its-Bayes-All-The-Way-Up https://www.slatestarcodexabridged.com/Its-Bayes-All-The-Way...). ;)
