Continued thread

In the end, nothing worked. I did it the old school way, googled the problem, found the answer on the first google hit on Stack Overflow.

Then, confronted with the solution, Cursor was able to also fix it.

So, I would say a deep integration into the IDE is really a benefit when it comes to run code, shell commands and read console output.

But be careful not to lose yourself in the vibe.

Yesterday, I vibe coded a bit with Cursor AI for a private project for fun. It is actually pretty cool on a first glance. Even a bit addictive TBH. The problem with that is, that most people will not click and expand the generated code snippets and review that. You are on a different abstraction level, thinking of features rather than sw development which is quite interesting. But, this leads to massive chunks of unknown code pushed to production.

I've been using Claude Code, and I like it. It's produced decent code and configuration files and everything, but I've only so far used it for "evergreen", fully vibe coded projects. So having Claude start from scratch.

Meanwhile, I *have* used Cursor on existing projects to add features, fix bugs, and add tests. And I found that to work pretty well too.

The problem I have is that with Cursor, I can see the diffs of the code in my editor, step by step, and approve or deny individual changes.

With Claude, it seems like it just prints a diff in the console and I have to accept or reject the whole thing there, with no context of the rest of my project, and no ability to tweak it.

Am I just doing something wrong? Is this the reason to stick to Cursor?

Looking for insights.
