Don’t forget the undo button. Even if you’ve accepted changes and have gone down a bad road for a half hour of changes, you can scroll back through the chat, mouse over a comment you made and click the undo button and ALL code changes will revert to that exact moment in time. Very handy. I use it more often than I should admit.
Love Windsurf. They are called Workflows due to the Agentic Flow feature... the Agent is essentially following your chain of thought for that specific workflow. E.g. I have restarted 1 project 4 times; its a very complex Phidata agentic framework that I need to be set up absolutely perfectly... and the Agent in Windsurf has LEARNED what my requirements are, and made multiple recommendations about how to implement the project that - frankly - I'd have never thought of, yet made the program significantly better. This thing is worth its weight in gold. I upgraded to a Team license literally to support them.
Thank you for your explanatory and beautiful presentation i will closely follow this channel that i discovered by chance and will eagerly await your new videos thank you.
In my experience so far, I'm sticking with cursor. No ability to use o1 or add images. I'm also finding that cursor is better at knowing the codebase...even though people are claiming that windsurf is better at this.
Very good for just frontend. Authentication and backend is a mess. It breaks things as it fixes others. Same issue as bolt.new. Maybe it’s because ai still has too small context for codebase awareness. It might work better if the project is small and simple. Maybe i don’t know how to prompt it for long projects, but it shows it hasn’t replaced devs yet. With that’s said, it’s the best I’ve seen. The chat is great.
@@codeswithai Thanks! When/if it gets built into Windsurf and be able to verbally accept the suggestions and not require keystrokes, it'll truly be a Tony Stark moment
Hey man, thanks for the demo - feedback since channel seems new: maybe its just me but I got the feeling you are a bit stressed, maybe try to chill a bit. Maybe its just me projecting 🙂 Anyways imma go make Cursor jealous
Ha! Well you're not wrong. Good news is that it's not this YT channel at least 😉 (it's my 5th YT channel and actually feels like a BREAK from the stress parts of life)
I have a problem using the chat in windsurf. I tried to apply changes by clicking on "Apply" in the chat but I constanly get this error irrespective of the file: "File has been modified since edit was generated. Cannot apply contents" Any ideas?
My default is just to copy my prompt, start a new chat (or whatever they're calling it these days), and start again. It's a bit frustrating, but that's the case with all the AI editors I've tried.
50/50 (compared to 95/5 for Svelte 4). It gets some of the runes correct, but I was having major issues trying to get it to set up a new SvelteKit project with v5. I didn't get the "npm create" vs "npx sv" changes, for example.
Does no one in these AI companies use CMD+L to select lines for code?!?! It's one of my most used shortcuts, and is standard across sublime, vscode, Jupyter, BigQuery, and many other editors. Why do they keep hijacking this?!?
I used to do this, too! ha. At some point I shifted (pun intended) to triple-clicking lines and then shift-clicking where I wanted to stop. Def slower and I have no idea why I do that now.
Nothing works from the start : - doesn't import vscode settings properly - doesn't import extension settings - doesn't import keybinds - doesn't have an "apply" from chat directly, you need to copy or insert at cursor WTF are you kidding me, like really??? - inconsistent, never does what it says it will do
This hasn't been my experience, for the most part. Migration = you might inform their team what settings didn't carry over! They'd want to hear that. Apply from chat = mine does (when the AI doesn't automatically do it, it usually TELLS me that and then offers the ability to copy/insert Keybinds = totally with you. It's annoying.
ALSO--I built an AI girlfriend with Windsurf ua-cam.com/video/emHfS63wYzo/v-deo.html
Me too but I was friend zoned on the first init
Last time i coded was in the commodore amiga 500, so after all these years, i succesfully made a windows program with windsurf.

Is the voice to text a Windsurf feature or something else?
Definitely giving this a try.
Love Codeium, so I think this might be great too
I dig the cut of their jib. (gib?)
Thank you for your explanatory and beautiful presentation

Welcome aboard!
One you know Git and Github you're automatically an expert coder
In my experience so far, I'm sticking with cursor. No ability to use o1 or add images. I'm also finding that cursor is better at knowing the codebase...even though people are claiming that windsurf is better at this.
Didn't realize they didn't offer o1 access yet. Interesting. I also think Cursor is currently better at inline suggestions, autocomplete, etc
The main problem with Windsurf is compared to Cursor that it can't read docs or something from the link but the Cursor does.

Agreed and agreed. Haven't tried bolt.net yet, that's next!
I love your vscode theme. What are you using?
"Dark High Contrast"
Using both curser & windsurf so far curser is the best
agree
How was voice to text enabled in windsurf? I have a bare installation and can't figure out what's required besides the CTRL+V shown
It's a 3rd party Mac app! Nothing to do with Windsurf/Codeium. I use Better Dictation, but there are a few out there these days.

Using AI to write more text than a github command to cut a branch 4:58 😅
This is the way.

How good is it when writing Svelte 5 code?
As good as Cursors since it suses claude 3.5 sonnet too but you can change it also to gpt 4o

Image Chatting Is Not there in Windserf but it is there in cursor
Correctomundo
cursor can do that codebase.. better than windsurf

It would be a lot more informative if you started with an empty startup instead of this bloated cluster of files and folders.
😂😂😂
How so?
Nothing works from the start :
- doesn't import vscode settings properly
- doesn't import extension settings
- doesn't import keybinds
- doesn't have an "apply" from chat directly, you need to copy or insert at cursor WTF are you kidding me, like really???

Keybinds = totally with you. It's annoying.
shitty context for now... need to point each file separate to be in context with ai
disappointed for now
