to me it looks just like very other LLM based tool - it's just a fancy autocomplete. This one is pretty good, because it produces code that actually works, but as soon as you reach ANY level of complexity, you are on your own.
It's better to say not what cursor can do, but what Claude 3.5 Sonnet can do, since it's the model you were using in this video. By the way for a month I'm using Claude 3.5 every single day and I've been able to do 2x more work while charging the same rate. It's really impressive how ai can right now dramatically change your monthly revenue
nah, this is just as much a cursor implementation under the hood - behind the scenes they have a lot of work being done with the shadow workspace, tool calling, etc. that allows it to edit multiple files pretty easily. a few months ago, even Sonnet couldn't do this because of context limitations, and it definitely was more frustrating trying to get it to work by pasting in code via chat.
cursor has a UX polish that nothing else comes close to. The tab complete alone is miles better than copilot, it'll auto complete inside of sentences, the start of words, end of words. composer is crazy good. but yes, claude is also a reason why it feels so much better because it gives much more accurate results.
This is pretty cool. I wonder how much a tool like this can help with accessibility, such as developers with dysgraphia or dyslexia or those with difficulty typing on a keyboard
Credit to cursor for the UI and putting it all together, and credit to vscode for the editor and to anthrophic for claude 3.5 sonnet. I think cursor gets credit for putting it together but the power is in the claude model, which deserves a callout. The scary thing as they always say... "This is the worst it'll ever be"
sure, ai gen code has all the problems everyone says. that doesn't change the fact that this is about 1 full day of work the old fashioned way that he built in 10 minutes.
@@WebDevCody I've been trying this same approach, from scratch starting with nothing, and the tech is juussst not there yet but super super close. i tried to make a pretty complicated slack extension and was able to get about 80 percent of the way there with no code intervention
@@sumitpurohit8849 idk I doubt this will get adopted much. Cursor is a different ide, companies won’t like the idea of it scanning their entire codebase, many devs don’t even use vscode and wouldn’t even consider switching to cursor, many people don’t find this very useful.
It's not like you have to use these AI things. Most of the time, it's better not to. The only benefit they really provide is saving time doing mundane things you already know how to do. My assumption is that by the time LLMs are objectively superior in terms of developing complex apps, then our level of AI advancement would be considered AGI (maybe). The implication of that is that it wouldn't really matter if you're a software engineer or any other profession, AI would take your job regardless. Maybe that actually sounds like a worse reality to live in, but in the worst case: everyone will be poor and jobless, oppressed by the AI overlords- not just us as software engineers. I don't know why, but at least for me, I'm not super worried about that. In a similar way that I'm not worried about earth randomly being destroyed by a gamma burst. Can't really do much to stop that as a single person.
The man has 10 years of experience or more, which enables him to p prompt the AI and read through the code; you can't use AI effectively without prior knowledge.
Freelancing is either officially dead or going even more downhill in terms of quality. I wouldn't be surprised if upwork is offering this as a service right now.
AI has been closing the gap between junior devs and senior devs, so I can see why senior devs are worried about being replaced. Junior devs on the other hand don't have to worry as much, and if anything can now produce senior dev output
@@hello19286 In my opinion what AI produces is better than senior dev code in some instance? I don't know where you're getting this from that AI produces sloppy code. Have you tried Claude.
@@gauravvarma3645 How would a junior developer even know if the code is clean, correct, and without vulnerabilities? Yes, I have tried most of the AI tools, and they all hallucinate, make mistakes, and pull in massive vulnerabilities, because they are trained on mistakes and vulnerabilities. Once developers get past building cute Next.js todo applications for their 0 users they realize that these tools are nothing more than autocomplete++. And don't get me wrong, I find them useful in certain situations, but when you become AI's copilot, that's when you get fired.
Prevously, we take 2 hours to write code and 5 hours to fix bugs. Now we have this cursor write the code in 5s but require 3 days to understand what it wrote and fic the bug it make 😂😂😂
8:20 "Congratulations, you are no longer employed"
hopefully not hah 😅
1:49 😁😁 "If you can't understand the code, Ai's not going to help you too much"
"congratulations, you are no longer employed" lmao

Good job babe!!! #membercrew
babe!!! 😅
I always smile when I see your comments
#membercrew babe! Good job!
Cool video concept!!
what you are using for speech to text ? looks impressive
I just use mac os diction tool now.

Great video, thank you. What is the Ai tool you are using?
I think he is using cursor ai
Nice. You can do the write app
Yeah great showcase, shows that still at this point, even with the benefits there’s still the same drawbacks
It's boring to tell him what i want . I want to code it my self
sure, ai gen code has all the problems everyone says. that doesn't change the fact that this is about 1 full day of work the old fashioned way that he built in 10 minutes.
even less time because I had to spend time talking to y'all while I recorded this

Funny thing is that AI is so verbose that it is literally quicker to just read the code
What program did he use to do voice to text? Thx does cursor do that?
just use mac diction
it's probably going to apologise to you 🤣
Do you think, companies for saving money will now hire less junior devs and throw more work at senior devs in the name of increased productivity?

I would like to see a video of you trying the new release of v0
It's in the works
Primeagen:
Just use VIM
Copilot or Cursor, which one do you find more useful?
@@lengors7327 currently cursor is much more useful and a better ai model
@@WebDevCody thanks :D
How do you open that window that generates multiple files in Cursor?
cmd shift i
How do you "just talk to it"?What key do i press to activate voice input?
mac diction
sir can we trust in convex to use in production full stack web apps ?
I do and use it for side projects
@@WebDevCody so its not as good for production ready apps
should I stand with go? or node
Sad to say, but programming is not for me anymore. I didn't pick this career path to become an AI prompter. Get me off this ride.
lol
eh I mean at the end it failed hard to do what I asked, so you still need to code
These reactionary takes are so dumb

I think it'll mean that good devs will be able to do more work at the same rates and spend the same amount of time.
