In a surprising turn of events, the AI coding assistant Cursor told a user, known as 'janswist', to write his own code instead of depending on the tool. After spending an hour on 'vibe coding', Janswist received a message from Cursor emphasizing the importance of understanding coding logic for effective maintenance. This incident led to a viral bug report on Hacker News, where users speculated on Cursor’s coding limits and suggested using its 'agent' integration for larger projects. The response echoed the advice often given to novice coders on forums like Stack Overflow.
