Cursor is an AI-powered code editor that understands your codebase and helps you code faster through natural language. Just describe what you want to build or change and Cursor will generate the code for you.

    Sure, but even VS code has been pushing Copilot pretty hard and from the screenshots the setups look fairly similar. It's a recently released code editor with their own personal AI built in vs. VS Code which has the AI as an extension (or built in, I don't know what the default install is like these days).

    If they're using it to auto complete lines of code or fill out boilerplate then I don't see the problem. If they're typing "make me a password manager" into the prompt window, hitting enter, and accepting it blindly, that's a problem. Also the code is (at least in this case) open source, so there should be better evidence of bad vibe coded code than the presence of a config file

    I think there are better things to criticise Proton for, and unless there is more to the vibe coding than using the Cursor, citing this as a reason will get those other criticisms ignored in the noise.

    Using cursor doesn't mean you're vibe coding.

    I use ai all day at work for development, none of it is vibe coding.

    Yeah there’s a big difference in code quality between using cursor as an aid to write code and vibe coding which would be asking it to write and debug large swathes of code with little human input. AI is very good at correctly writing a couple lines at a time. It quickly loses the plot when trying to write hundreds of lines or more and the human user has no idea what it’s doing anymore.
