Re:Cursor 1.0 on Thursday June 05, 2025 @10:30AM (#44192081)
Lots of comments here are so unrelated to the release, just people complaining about how they don’t like cursor because it’s a fork of VSCode…

I’m particularly interested in the release of BugBot. The docs mention it looks at diffs but I hope it’s also scanning through the repository and utilizing full context. Requesting copilot to do a review does the same thing but because it’s only looking at diffs the feedback it provides is pretty useless, mainly just things that a linter could catch.

Re:Micro-Dosing Caffeine on Wednesday May 08, 2024 @03:44PM (#40302104)
Based on what my doctors told me, migraines can be triggered by blood vessels constricting and dilating. Caffeine causes the same kind of motion, meaning it can cause migraines but also reverse them, which is why they are both a trigger and remedy.
Disagree. I now defer to chatGPT instead of reading raw documentation. Even if it can hallucinate an answer it's still way faster and better for discoverability.
