My project is a complicated mix of account abstraction, telegram mini apps and about five obscure cryptocurrency SDKs integrated throughout the app. Yes, Cursor frequently hallucinates but it’s pretty easy to steer it. @Docs solves it.

Another piece of magic sauce: waste the context. Spend the tokens as if you’re partying last time in your life. Throw anything remotely relevant at it.

I haven’t yet found piece of context that made it perform worse. Most of the time the opposite happens - it finds stuff that I haven’t noticed in the big chunks of data I threw at it (error logs, documentation, stack traces)

I remember when I was just learning programming I had a mental block around nested for-loops. I couldn’t trace more than 1000 operations in my head, so I thought that computer wouldn’t be able to as well. To my surprise a computer can easily handle a million operations in a split second.

With AI is a similar feeling, I feel constrained by the amount of my own “RAM”, but once I let go, it almost always surprises me.
