As the breed of businesses to replace people with “AI agents,” Coding Assistant Cursor can give us a peek at the thoughts of bots can work as well.
Cursor reported to a user who would go to the name “Janswist” that he should write the code itself rather than relying on Cursor to do so for him.
“I can't create a code for you, because complete your job … You should develop logic to yourself. It ensures that you understand the system and it can maintain it well,” Janswist said Cursor told him after he spent an hour “Vibe” coding with the tool.
So Janswist filed a bug report In the company's product forum: “Cursor told me I should know the coding instead of asking it to come up with it,” and along with a screen shot. The bug report soon went viral with Hacker news, and covered by Ars Technica.
Janswist thought he had hit some kind of hard limit to 750-800 code lines, though other users replied that cursor would write more code than for them. A commentator has suggested that the Janswist should use Cursor's “agent” integration, which works for larger coding projects. Anysphere, a cursor manufacturer, cannot be reached for commenting.
But Cursor's refusal also sounds like a terrible -as -as -fan of replies that newbie coders can get when asking for the forums of the forum, people in Hacker News taught.
The suggestion is that if Cursor trained on that site could have learned not only coding tips, but also human snarks.
