Re:Going full AI engineer, not touching code anymore on Wednesday May 20, 2026 @12:03PM (#48209926)
Yeah, it's very clear that the person that wrote the above comment didn't actually grok what the purpose of the article was. Thanks for providing a counterpoint that I think actually summarizes the article correctly.
What's your point
The author discovered plan mode in cursor.
This title is so click bait-y and misleading compared to what the actual article is about it's tough not to feel disappointed this is on the front page. @dang
This reads like a useful guide, not an answer to the question "why use Claude code over cursor" that the author includes at the beginning.

It’s literally just vscode so u didn’t bounce out of anything but vscode.

Interesting! What tools are using to make this collaboration easier?
What’s a blind exception?

Fad? “OKR” is from the 70s lol
Yep, the top comment in this thread is a fantastic example of typical HN comments. Naïveté masked as expertise.

Speaking ill? He’s speaking literally about what THEY did lol. There’s nothing subjective about it.

Re:Google to lay off 10k “poor performers” on Friday November 25, 2022 @01:53PM (#33745588)
I was told at some point by someone that a layoff can’t be done based on performance, because that would mean it’s a firing instead. An amazon manager told me they were careful to avoid mentioning perf as a factor in their latest layoffs. Is that accurate and if so how does this jive with that at all?

Re:Technicolor Tokyo on Tuesday March 29, 2022 @11:19AM (#30843748)
Well, to each their own. I find Tokyo's greenery and street gardens to be the most attractive parts of the city ;-). You're right about the lights and it's kind of hard to believe people think Tokyo looks like these pictures.
Re:Detecting Node Event Loop Blockers on Thursday March 17, 2022 @03:15PM (#30714847)
fyi to anyone seriously considering using these: neither is going to work as expected if something blocks the loop indefinitely. In other words, you won't know how long something blocked the loop until that thing has finished blocking. Timeouts for async code or limits on loop statements are still relevant.
Re:Why I Prefer Makefiles over Package.json Scripts on Monday March 14, 2022 @01:24PM (#30675221)
Yeah this seems to miss some of the biggest features of npm scripts. Access to the project's local packages is probably the biggest feature not mentioned IMO.
Re:Highlights from Git 2.35 on Tuesday January 25, 2022 @09:33AM (#30072158)
Am I the only one not seeing a `git jump` command in v2.35.0 installed via brew?

lol. wut

'vim [email protected]:/home/repo' also works afaik :-). Vim has support for this built in.
You can disable the cryptocurrency stuff and if you're worried about ads you could install whatever ad blocker youre currently using. Underneath everything it's just Chromium. I've been using it for a year or so.

fwiw, if youre in tmux you can hit <prefix>-?, so for me it's ctrl+w+? and itll show all available tmux commands.
Re:Ask HN: Why there are so many ads on YouTube? on Friday March 19, 2021 @10:02PM (#26520130)
It's a company trying to make a profit. Why is this on the front page?
