☕️ & Cursor

[jakenuts]

This morning I installed "Cursor.so" which is basically VSCode with GPT smoothly integrated in. This is day zero feedback I just posted to their discord but as I typed the word "auto-pilot" I remembered this project and thought I'd drop it here as well because, it might be an idea worth pursuing if larger code generation was on your roadmap.

I’ve only just installed but my first test of generating code was a big ask (too many hours begging AutoGPT to write non-trivial apps). Cursor boiled my “typescript class that does x & y” down into the class definition and and “empty” functions - which initially struck me as nice, but not great. But they weren’t empty, because they had descriptions of what the function should do. In my AutoGPT mindset this seemed like a really, really great way to manage the token budget and seed the next tasks in context (in the original sense). If the comments are tagged in some way as to indicate they are the next code-gen request the generation could continue on with feedback or just on auto-pilot. What makes this especially nice is that functions or at least classes should be atomic, uninterested in the larger context (in both senses of that term). Perhaps I’ve described what cursor already was going for, if not, there ya go. ☕️
