Why did you decide to move away from Cursor?


Just posted my reply on the thread, to summarise:

1) Default sharing of code (only manual turn off)

2) Was an incident where I believe at least some versions would share your env files (without manual .cursorignore)

3) Agent mode is quiet bad for novel code

4) Agent mode either overshoots(overcomplicates code), mistakes context or refactors too much

The only benefit I get is:

a) Chatting in same window as my code

b) Ctrl+L shortcut

(edited for formatting)


Wondering what made Anthropic to change their stand from saying before that it is not secure to use web with AI models


Fear of AI Winter probably


I dont quite understand the benefit. How does running commands from the Makefile differ from running commands directly on the runner ? What benefit does Makefile brings here ?


You can't run GitHub actions yml workflows locally (officially, there's tools like act).


If you have your CI runner use the same commands as local dev, CI basically becomes an integration test for the dev workflow. This also solves the “broken setup instructions” problem.


Looks cool. I started with python but then switched to go as I am more proficient in the later. I will go through your repo to learn how to construct MCP using python :)


Claude can help you write a lot of okay Python code. Yes, Go is great, but in this MCP case, because of uvx and pypi, as well as kafka python lib, choosing Python is not bad at all
