Whenever I’m deep in a vibe coding sesh and Cursor starts entering a doom loop and loosing flow, I will prompt it with this:

“Go outside on the front porch and hit your weed vape, look at some clouds and trees, then come back inside and try again.”

This works about 90% of the time for me and gets things flowing again. No shit, I’m not joking, this works and I don’t know why.

Your context is getting too long and it’s causing confusion.
I wouldn't be surprised if they're lighting some VC money on fire by spinning up an extra few servers behind the scenes when the system receives really poor sentiment.
That or switching you to a SOTA model briefly, instead of the regular fine-tuned GPT-3.5 or something.
Yes, that's what I meant, lol.
