AI is hard to keep up with sometimes haha!

Tried windsurf yesterday though and it was pretty impressive. Seemed much more capable of large edits on the code base

Haha so worth trying then? It is cheaper than cursor too 🙃🙃🙃

pixelhop.io•217 days ago

Yeah definitely worth trying! I haven't switched from cursor yet but might do!

Its free for two weeks, then pro is $10 a month

I use it cause once the project gets bigger cursor or any other llm can't really solve the problem, but windsurf has somekind of memory layer so you can constantly chat and figure out what went wrong. If you are fine with cursor you can stay, but I moved to windsurf cuz its way better for my workflo

That’s super valuable feedback! Cursor has been working okay for me small tasks - but you’re right. The larger aspects it does struggle with / I don’t trust it with.

Is Windsurf good with the smaller tasks?

Funny thing is both of them use sonnet3.5, but cursor seems to do bit better on smaller task but, every smaller task may vary

Cursor is still better imo (I’ve used it daily for months).

And they are joining up with Supermaven which should catapult them ahead.

I’m quite excited about the supamaven merger! I don’t know if you’ve seen the lex Friedman podcast with the cursor team but that team is committed!
