After a sudden 700% jump in my Cursor bill, I built an open-source tool to track token usage for Cursor and Claude Code in real time. https://hackernoon.com/cursors-new-pricing-blew-my-budget-so-i-built-a-usage-tracker #cursor

The writing was on the wall the moment #Laravel raised USD $60M from investments.

Eventually they would have to shove in #AI because of shareholders.

#Cursor is fundamentally broken. like 80% of the time it runs a cli tool (that is NOT interactive) and just spins after the tool exits. I can see the output, it's finished and sitting there at a shell.

Even pressing stop in the UI doesn't help.

I can see the value in #Cursor but jfc they really botched the VS Integration.

Why would they change the way the side bar works? Like I can't have it horizontal like in VS Code? Why would they even do that?

Moving the cheese is a poor UX.

It's like they intentionally made their vscode fork shitty.

A malicious Jira ticket can cause Cursor to exfiltrate secrets from the repository or local file system. But this is not just a problem with Cursor: GitHub MCP connections can also be exploited to expose private repository data, and a vulnerability in GitLab Duo allowed private information to be exposed through automatically rendered HTML code.

Der #Baustellenbot unterstützt jetzt eine Konfigurationsdatei, in der man Datenquellen (Städte, im Moment nur Erlangen) und "Konnektoren" (im Moment nur Mastodon und Bluesky) definieren kann. D.h. in Zukunft könnten möglicherweise noch mehr Städte und Social Networks unterstützt werden.

In Claude sind natürlich jetzt die Tokens alle, aber jetzt mal schauen, ob #Cursor wieder geht, da gibt es irgendeine Gratisaktion zum Release von GPT5

In Cursor’s paid plans, GPT-5 is free for the first week.

Throw in any project you’ve been longing to finish but left incomplete.

The Free Lunch Is Over

Hello everyone

As promised, here’s my video on Cursor (an AI-powered IDE), where I cover the basics such as installation, setting up base language support, using natural language commands in the terminal, exploring chat features, and working with background agents.

Full video: https://youtu.be/LHASMSoT2Og

I also showcase a Unity MR application I previously built, where we add new features using AI alone.

Habe mich noch mal an die Timer-App von letzter Woche Samstag gesetzt, und das ganze Progressive Web App-Zeug implementieren lassen (Full Screen, Icon, Automatisches Sperren des Bildschirms verhindern wenn der Timer läuft usw.)

(am besten auf dem Home Screen installieren)

Bei #Cursor sind mir dann auch die Tokens ausgegangen, also zurück zu #Claude

Das Ganze gibt's jetzt auch bei #Codeberg

https://codeberg.org/SonstHarmlos/exptimer

So, ich habe jetzt ein wenig Anforderungen, Design und Projektplan zusammengeschrieben - recht formlos und komplett von Hand.

https://codeberg.org/SonstHarmlos/baustellenbot/src/branch/main/documents

Jetzt bitte ich die KI, das mal zu reviewen und Ergänzungen vorzuschlagen.

Ich werde jetzt den Hashtag #AIAssistedCoding benutzen (könnt ihr auch schön wegfiltern, wenn es euch nervt). Nicht mehr #VibeCoding, weil ich die KI nur punktuell benutze
