So looking through the dependencies, it's CodeMirror with a VsCode theme on top of it, that includes Copilot. Why wouldn't I just use an existing editor with Copilot support?
Im curious. How did the github repo get 1.9k stars after just 2 weeks of development. Was it shared heavily on chinese social media (I noticed lots of github issues were written in chinese) ? I couldn't find any traces of it on twitter/google .
AI is still in an info-phase Bitcoin was in before 2017. Tech news are 50% AI, but it’s not on TV or in general public chit-chat yet. Expected to see an avalanche of fake/fraud/phony products based on it as we’ve seen about blockchain. It’s surprising it took so long, actually.
Also expected to see some bs in a spirit of (but unlike) NFTs.
fwiw, feel quite strongly that LLMs will result in big productivity increases for many developers in the near-term
started working on cursor bc I think a ton of speedups would require editor-level changes (e.g. more mundane ones liek auto-fixing errors from the terminal/LSP, much better code nav/understanding using auto-generated docs; wackier ones like letting you edit a pseudocode version of your codebase)
There's nothing on the official website or GitHub that indicates what this software is, other than a cropped screenshot that looks like vscode with a prompt pop up over it.
Edit: I still can't figure out if this is just some sarcastic joke software or something.
