Why waste precious milliseconds typing complete sentences to your AI coding assistant? With autocomplete in the prompt box, we've solved the most pressing problem facing developers today: prompt fatigue.
Gone are the days of exhausting yourself by typing full requests like "refactor this function to use async/await." Now, simply type "refac—" and let our AI predict that you want an AI to refactor your code.
It's AI all the way down, baby.

- cesarvarela 1y agoWith Meta's wristband, you can save some finger and arm movement as well.
- imiric 1y agoNo joke—out of all tech products announced in the last ~year, that wristband is what excites me the most.
- siva7 1y agoYou write like that's a bad thing. What's with the negativity here..

- vasco 1y agoIt's funny to imagine this AI based autocomplete prompting when the interface isn't a keyboard but a brain chip. Effectively mind control.
- yonaguska 1y agoIt's already been here for a long time actually. Think google search auto completion of prompts. You're looking for something that might have biases on either side, and you are only shown autocomplete entries for a specific bias.

- enraged_camel 1y ago>> What's with the negativity here The builders are quietly learning the tools, adopting new practices and building stuff. Everyone else is busy criticizing the tech for its shortcomings and imperfections.
- aeon_ai 1y agoLook, I use AI regularly. I value AI. It's not a criticism of AI, broadly, it's commentary on a feature designed to make engineers (and increasingly non-engineers) even lazier about one of the main points of leverage in making AI useful.
- enraged_camel 1y agoAutocomplete is one of Cursor's most popular features, and is cited as the only reason some people continue to use it. And you're mocking the Cursor team for adding it to the one place where devs still type a lot of text, and making a value judgment by calling it lazy.
- aeon_ai 1y ago> adding it to the one place where devs still type a lot of text Because that's where the text the devs type still matters most. Do I care significantly about this feature's existence, and find it an affront to humanity? No. But, people who find themselves using auto-complete to make even their prompts for them will absolutely be disintermediated, so I think it wise to ensure people understand that by making funny jokes about it.
- simianwords 1y agoYou come across as smug but there really is value in this. Let’s get rid of autocorrect in ChatGPT while we are at it? Same logic right?
- noodletheworld 1y agoIt’s obviously farcical. Anyone seriously using these tools knows that context engineering and detailed specific prompting is the way to be effective with agent coding. Just take it to the extreme and youll see; what if you auto complete from a single word? A single character? The system youre using is increasingly generating some random output instead of what you were either a) trying to do, or b) told to do. Its funny because its like, “How can we make vibe coding even worse?” “…I know, lets just generate random code from random prompts” There have been multiple recent posts about how to direct agents using a combination of planning step, context summary/packing, etc to craft detailed prompts that agents can effectively action on large code bases. …or yeah, just hit tab and go make a coffee. Yolo. This could have been a killer feature about using a research step to enhance a user prompt and turn it into a super prompt; but it isnt.
- semiquaver 1y agoYou’re absolutely correct! This comment was more negative than it could be. Would you like me to rewrite it to demonstrate more positivity?
- compootr 1y agoYes! Please proceed by writing a haiku for a cookie recipe
- kiitos 1y agoyou're right, i guess it's only negative if you think it's important for people to understand the code they produce, if that's not a concern for you then no problemo
- TZubiri 1y agoI hate writing prompt starters for AI, I wish I had a tool that automatically started sentences so that my AI could autocomplete it
- huvarda 1y agolowkey typing is so cumbersome though they should make an ai model that can read my thoughts and generate a prompt from them so i don't have to anymore
- ebiester 1y agoYou are thinking too small. AI should be able to determine what my thoughts should be and execute them so I don't have to spend my precious time actually thinking.
- fallinditch 1y agoPrecisely. And there should be an option to randomize.
- imiric 1y agoI can't tell anymore if comments like this are sarcastic or not.
- NitpickLawyer 1y ago> It's AI all the way down, baby. This brings up an interesting point that's often missed, IMO. LLMs are one of the few things that work on many layers, such that once you have a layer that works, you can always add another abstraction layer on top. So yes, you could very well have a prompt that "builds prompts" that "builds prompts" that ... So something like "do x with best practices in mind" can turn into something pretty complex and "correct" down the line of a few prompt loops.
