I'm starting to hate using Cursor.
Ollama Codestral is more my style, especially as I can run it locally and query it in the browser, and don't sit, there, terrified, frantically smashing the STOP button.

cursor, that's the one. yeah, i didn't like it. it's not thorough at anything, all flash and boom and bang and opa i forgot to commit the stuff that is working.
i should try codestral, but Qwen 3 14b has been mostly good. it just has this habit of often deciding to print the thinking into the commit comments. then after a while it stops doing that. idk what the deal is, seems like a bug.
Yeah, they all do weird stuff. Buggy. The vibe-coding AI has also been vibe-coded by the same AI, so...
it seems to me like this AI coding thing is actually gonna really sort out the hay from the chaff. if you don't have good CS chops you are not going to do better, just more, and less stable, and more retarded.
the value of proper programming skills will rise rapidly in value, doubly so because we will now be accelerating our work in areas that we were weak with or are time intensive. i achieved more making #orly run nice in 3 weeks learning to use junie than i achieved in the previous 18 months.
Yeah, I make big leaps, sometimes, but other Times it makes me want to throw the computer out of the window.
I'm enjoying slow-AI, at the moment, where I just pepper it with questions, as I go along, but write the code in the repo myself.
Yeah, I just use VS Code and my favorite plugins and codestral, at work, and it's stress-free AI.
As soon as the AI is running in the IDE, it gets nuts, fast.
