Best cursor tutorial
Hi it was a great video can we do a small collaboration 😊
cursor is awesome
I beleive, the way we give instructions to computer software which translates the instructions to machine code has been evolving and will keep evolving always. The only thing that will remain constant is the human creativity. So learn what to instruct and and how to instruct because the process always evolves.
Is this video good for complete newbies / non coders

Cursor or v0 sub? your take...?
I gotta try v0 - heard a lot of good things but haven't used it yet. I've been staying away from Vercel due to the costs and my dislike for NextJS. But v0 looks good. I've also seen people trying to combo v0 + cursor
Was resisting the move to cursor, watched a few videos and was unconvinced but now I'm sold! Great video, thanks!
Nice! Hope it works well for you - would love to hear how it goes after you try it for yourself!
Awesome tutorial...thanks!
Thanks, Trent! :)
I think the biggest question from production on, is the total dependeency on the AI to change the app. At some point in time, you will lose control of what is written and the disconnect between code and developer will only get larger and larger.
I mean, it is kind of a similar question to something like python vs C++. It's a layer of abstraction that streamlines stuff and makes dev times faster, but if you need to get into the nitty gritty, you are still on your own, which is good, as that means this will be a tool for progammers and not a replacement.
@@shadowphoenixxx People will be lazy
Yeah the risk of this is higher given how much easier to write code. This sort of thing would happen in regular codebases too though, especially when multiple developers are involved. Hopefully there will be some AI tools that help keep things clean and well documented/organized.
I'm a data scientist and AI speeds up the coding part of my job at least 2.5X. With AI I can code about as well as Volo, without I'm a lot slower than Volo.
Hey Denson, nice to hear from you! What sort of AI tools are you using nowadays?
Really helpful. Thanks a lot for the great breakdown. Looking forward to other videos! 🤙
Thanks for watching! Glad you liked it :)
everybody making better ai than github copilot 😭
lol this is so sad but true. Faang companies continue to fumble basic things they should have no problem delivering. Too much bureaucracy and politics over there. Fun to see startups winning!
Great video, thanks volo!
Thanks Jeff! Appreciate it :)
paying to use a text editor. no thanks
I'm sure people thought the printing press was a silly idea too :)
Great video showing the powers of Cursor. Thanks for creating it!
Thanks Roger! Glad it was helpful!
Amazing video! Was the framework for the card draft shown on minute 1:39 made by you or did you use a framework made by naturalcrit? I want to create a similar output with my custom gpt but for meal plans. I don't know yet how to get the text output gpt gives to a good looking meal plan "card" similar to the one you are showing
It was data stored in homebrewery (naturalcrit) and rendered by them. I just submitted the text in the syntax that their engine knew how to render properly. For your use case I would advise to build or find something that can display your data in a nice format and then use your GPT to create new cards on that site. Or even just build an app that uses the assistants API. One more thing to check out would be Claude Artifacts!
Writing code is one of several stages, all you see now is just improving productivity
💯
You may never see this but I’ve been looking for some help on like “HOW to use AI to code AND learn”. Because I can just get into a copy and paste loop, I don’t know anything but if I sat down and learned it and stopped copy pasting, I would know it already. Just wish there was an easier way to do the two
Yeah I think there are many in this position now - because it is now easier than ever to build products but people still need to learn a lot of basics to understand how to use the tools properly. I'm definitely considering making some videos on this subject. Thanks for the suggestion!
Another great way to keep your code base clean and readable is to not use React and Tailwind.
Haha I find that problems arise mostly when devs misuse these tools rather than the tools in general. For me, React and Tailwind strike a good balance of abstraction and ease of use.
I'm not seeing the apply button when I use cursor on windows
Couple of thoughts: 1. You should use the sidebar chat (Cmd+L) to see this 2. It only appears if Cursor is intending to modify an existing file that was passed into it (tagged or the file you're currently on). If it writes code for a new file, there will not be an apply button and you will have to create the file and copy/paste the code.
You can use WIN + SHIFT + S for quick access to that screenshot tool. It copies the image to the clipboard and its super convenient.
👏
When you go through some tweets on X, you could see things like, mind-blowing how good this new tool is, it can do this and that and yes, it even can do your laundry. You said, "you need to know when to stop to rely on these models" - thank you. I myself use LLMs a lot and while these tools are great, they really have limits. Generally, when someone says mind-blowing, chances are, that he is the wrong word or that he has only a very rough idea of what he is talking about. In summary, LLMs are great, but we really need to know that they that not that advanced that they could do everything on their own. In a lot of cases, you still need to do some modifications manually.
Thank you!! Yes, it is very easy to get sucked into the hype vortex on X (and elsewhere lol). I try my best to keep it real!
Really good and well explained tutorial on using Cursor, showing the essential features in actual no-nonsense work. Thank you!
Glad you found it helpful! :)
Thanks!
Thank you so much! My very first super thanks 😄 you're awesome!!
Really well-explained video! Thank you so much!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it :)
How does this compare to Google's Project Idx?
No clue! I hadn't heard of that till now. Will have to take an look!
Came here from Andrej's Thread, Thanks for helping out.
Awesome! Thanks for watching :)
very nice tutorial !
Thank you very much!
Can it write SystemVerilog too?
No idea! If there are many well-documented examples online it should be able to. But probably not as well as super common stuff such as JavaScript and Python
@@VoloBuilds ok
Thanks man
Glad you enjoyed it!
When making changes to many files, use git, and commit prior to making the changes. If it all goes wrong, as with demonstration of multi Composer in this video, you can easily revert all the changes with a single click in the source control panel. Commit often!
Great suggestion! I'll have to mention this in a future video!
Great stuff! Thanks
Thanks Piotr! Glad you liked it!
Do you know anything about shortcuts I mean want to make commend line with shortcuts
I am not sure, sorry!
Luke from Cursor here. Thanks for the awesome video -- really comprehensive and well-made! We're working on making Composer even smarter so it can handle the types of inputs you gave it :) . And we're always interested in your feedback to make Cursor even better!
Thank you, Luke!! You all have built a fantastic product! Would love to stay in touch on X or wherever if y'all have any new features you want feedback on! One quick feature request :) Can we get a "create new file" button in the chat sidebar for cases where it writes code for a non-existing file? Compose does this well but I still prefer chat for predictability and the fact that it's pinned to the sidebar (btw would also love the ability to pin composer to the side). Anyhow thanks for watching and thank you for all you do!
@@VoloBuilds I prefer chat mode for now too and a create new file feature would be great
May i ask why you decided to build a whole new IDE instead of integrating new plugins in vscode?
Hey @VoloBuilds I saw that you mentioned that Cursor Pro gives you unlimited sonnet 3.5 use, but Cursor’s site says “You have 500 fast uses and unlimited slow uses each month”. It also states that “once you hit your fast usage limit, you can still use premium models, but your requests may be queued behind others at times of high load.” My question for you is, have you ever reached that limit? And if so, what was your experience with slow uses like?
This is a really excellent rundown, thanks a lot.
Thanks Rory!! Really appreciate it :)
why all the software engineers are going bald
brain must be working too hard 🤯
Could you make a video of cursor writing unit tests for an existing code base ?
Hey that's a good use case! I was thinking of making a video of some use cases like this and refactoring code, etc. thanks for the suggestion!
VSCode on steroid 😂 but I love it ❤ 👌
yes exactly haha
some company don t want to use it because it traines on the company code. Do you use it in your company?
Yep this is true but they will need to find some other similar solution or they will simply get left behind and out-competed. I'm doing freelance and solo development so it's not an issue for me
awesome work. Aside from web/app development, I would love to see more tips on using Cursor for Data Science, Training Neural Networks kinda stuffs
Thank you very much! I'll have to think about how it applies in those scenarios!
Great. I'm going to try using cursor for creating js based UI for my python based Apps (AI chatbots/ apps) I already know python but zero knowledge of JS. Hopefully I can create intuitive UIs using cursoe
That's awesome! I expect it'll go pretty well since you already have some technical experience! It's great for learning!
