Thanks. I've tried Cursor, but probably more useful on smaller codebases I found and for simple code changes. Can you share the github repo that you use it on, or give me an indication of the codebase size that you use it on?

It's a React project with less than a hundred files made by me/claude. Not really sure of lines of code. It's not overly complex but somewhat novel - it's recreating a game interface and engine and not really a traditional web app. Don't really want to associate my github with my HN username because I used to be a bit more adversarial when posting anonymously on the internet and I'm not super proud of that and don't necessarily want it tied to my real name :)
Ok I'm using cursor again. It is helping me with about 10% of the autocomplete on a very simple one file NodeJS project, but anything more complex it definitely messes it up.
my use is mostly with the chat window, i tell it what i want or the changes i want and it generates the file for me. i rarely use the auto complete
