Welp, looks like Cursor is really a lot more expensive than the same $20 GitHub Copilot subscription.
We will see how this goes.
Alright, I've pulled the CC of my employer and started a Pro subscription for @cursor_ai, which I'll be testing for a month or two.
FYI I had a GitHub Copilot subscription before and used it heavily with @opencode with a lot of Sonnet 4.5 for planning and GPT-5-Mini (0x multiplier) for implementing and sometimes even inside of VSCode. I also used GitHub Copilot for PRs and remote agents many times.
First impressions of Cursor for a full workday:
- Yes, Composer 1 is fast but it is not the most "smart" model.
- I like the agent view and it was a big reason why I wanted to try out Cursor 2.0. But what I really don't like is that when I am in the Editor view and lets say I have multiple files open (split view) and my terminal open, I'd like all of that to be hidden by default when I switch to the Agent view.
- I am missing an option to configure git-worktree. Especially, I'd like to have the ability to name the git-worktree (and the branch it creates in that worktree). Let's say I am working on ticket JIRA-1239 I'd like to set this as my agent's title (for the left agent list) and also for the name of the worktree + branch in that worktree.
- I'd love an option to quicker start an app/devserver from an agent (which did changes in a specific worktree).
- I really don't like that this "New chat" on the side always appears by itself. When I am in the editor view, I don't want to see this! (Screenshot 1)
- Why the hell does the shortcut CMD+ALT+B toggles the right panel on the editor view and the left panel on the agents view?
- The width of the agents list (agent view) always resizes itself. Remember the side that I've set it!
- Can we get an option to configure models for modes? For example, I'd like to have Sonnet 4.5 always when using Plan mode and Composer 1 or GPT-5-Mini for Agent mode. Can we get a setting for that?
- When I am in the agent view and toggle settings, switch me back to the editor view or you get this disgusting thing on the right (Screenshot 2).
- Also in the second screenshot. I've set "window.title" to be an empty string. On the editor view, this works. Agent view? Shows the project name again. Please fix this.
This was day 1. I am not sure if I'll be posting daily or get impressions for multiple days and post again.

3000 line files?
I've seen many many 50000 line files and the record was a whopping 84000 lines file. Multiple foreach loops over a datatable. And inside that loop, another foreach over the same datatable.
Asp.Net code behind file for a single page
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I just watched @mattpocockuk latest video and was shocked that people using CC still have to check the context window manually.
Which makes me appreciate the work @thdxr and @adamdotdev have done with opencode even more. Never had to check or think about the context window with opencode (because it's always visible). And at the same time opencode supports so many subscriptions, just awesome 👏
If @tannerlinsley one day has to force us to use all of these directives, I'll switch to Vue
Exactly my conclusion as well!
Thanks for the awesome article @adevnadia 👏
React Server Components: do they improve performance or make it worse?
If your answer is “I’ve no idea 😅,” I wrote a deep-dive to answer that! Experiments and real numbers, CSR vs SSR vs RSC, same app + test setup.
Focus: initial load + data fetching.

STOP SUGGESTING ZEN BROWSER PEOPLE. THEY STILL HAVE ISSUES WITH FONT WEIGHT CHANGING ON SCROLLING. STOP SUGGESTING IT FFS

Good night
Hey ChatGPT, there is this browser called Dia which was sold for $600 million. Now fork Chromium, style it exactly like Dia and add a ChatGPT button. Make no mistakes.
Would really love to learn where @posthog got it's data (GitLab?) that 200-220k in SF equals to 106-116k in Austria.
