A place for developers to talk about building on Farcaster.

/dev

Sometimes I just let Cursor using sonnet or o1 try to figure out what could be causing a bug just by looking at the code and me describing the behavior I'm trying to fix. It has never worked.

They still work best for me as auto-complete, stackoverflow and multi-file editors on steroids.

Yeah they do help explain error messages.
Most of the ones I provide are annoying Typescript type checks though. Rarely need to provide an error trace.

have you used codebase context with cursor? pasting full error traces works like a charm in nextjs projects

Maybe depends on the bug. If there are no error messages and there are just odd UI behaviors that you can only describe then it has no clue.

It makes sense since it doesn't get the whole picture and can't do everything itself.

For example, the last bug I figure out what was happening by looking at the network. Even after I described it the AI still didn't "think" of a way to fix it. I had to do it myself.

Hmm. I've got it to fix bugs after multiple back and forth with error messages.

it does help sometimes with few iterations, especially, if it knows more than you in certain areas, e.g. for me some specifics in front-end, but it's more like juggling in reality 😅

Auto complete is really the main feature

It’s just intellisense on steroids
