I just want to pause a moment to wish a "fuck you" to the guy who named an AI model "Cursor" as if that's a useful name. It's like they're expecting accidental google searches to be a major source of recruitment.
they are the first thing that comes up when searching "cursor" in both ddg and google, so I think they're doing ok
Yes, that is the problem I wanted to acknowledge, thank you for clarifying.
It's not an AI model, it's an IDE
My comment stands
Fake developer doesn't use version control. Big surprise.
It's a scary amount of projects these days managed by a bunch of ZIP files:
- Program-2.4.zip
- Program-2.4-FIXED.zip
- Program-2.4-FIXED2.zip
- Program-2.4-FIXED-final.zip
- Program-2.4-FIXED-final-REAL.zip
- Program-2.4-FIXED-FINAL-no-seriously.zip
- Program-2.4-FINAL-use-this.zip
- Program-2.4-FINAL-use-this-2.zip
- Program-2.4-working-maybe.zip
- Program-2.4-FINAL-BUGFIX-LAST-ONE.zip
- Program-2.4-FINAL-BUGFIX-LAST-ONE-v2.zip
I did that with documents in my Uni years.
By the end, I was using ISO timestamps.
Acts like SVN and CVS didn't exist
Also like Reddit did
Don't trust anyone who can't spell 'oops'.
Maybe he was cursing the god of dev ops
Don't worry, I'm sure Cursor will be able to clobber your git history and force push to master any day now
Genuine question: what would it take to poison an LLM with ai tools to run git push --force origin main
or sudo rm -rf /
Git wasn't the first version control software. I remember using sccs back in 1991 and apparently it was written all the way back in 1972 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Source_Code_Control_System
Just save your prompts and vibes in a Google doc dude
Good thing it's deterministic, oh wait 😃
Just a heads up, it you don't know how to use cli git in 2025 you're probably a shit developer. There are undoubtedly exceptions, but I would argue not knowing version control intimately makes you a bad developer.
Letting your text editor write your code, not using version control... I don't feel sad at all. Hope lesson was learned.
Why did the porn star become a network admin after retiring?
She was already an expert in load balancing
I need to put a SaaS together called vibe VCS
I made a game engine and a game back in highschool, but all that code is lost because I didn't know how to use git. I knew git existed (and even knew enough to know it was better than mercurial or svn), but I was too lazy to learn.
just press Ctrl + Z several times! /s
