The top question we get: what's the difference between Augment Code and Cursor?

Our answer: it's all about our Context Engine. We're built for pro software teams working in production-grade (read: large) codebases.

We index your repository in real time, so we can feed the most relevant information to the underlying models.

Result? Better suggestions. Better Agent outcomes. Better code.

Of course there's more: security, privacy, no forks, no model picker (pro software engineers are too busy shipping).

But, we know it's hard to understand the difference without seeing it for yourself.

So, to help you cut through the hype, we're launching a special offer for Cursor Pro users: upload your invoice, and we'll give you an additional 600 user messages (on top of the 300 in our trial!) for free.

We can tell you what the difference is, but it's better if you see it for yourself.

Agents don’t crash. They drift.

At first, it’s subtle. Then it’s a mess.

Here’s how to catch drift early — and reset before you lose control: 👇

@QNS @rjkyb5 This is unfortunate, we need to do something to help current and future generations from living in poverty.

Flowith just dropped Agent Neo and the gap between human jobs and AI just narrowed dramatically.

Been using it for a week now and it's freaking nuts.

- UNLIMITED workflow steps, can runs for hours
- Cloud execution for intensive tasks
- Nested agent hierarchies with sub-agents
- Knowledge marketplace to monetize expertise

I built this entire game design document in one prompt.

Today, we're announcing plans to make VS Code an open source AI editor.

We believe AI development should stay true to VS Code's core principles: open, collaborative, and community-driven. Let's build the future of software development together.

If you’re vibe coding and stuck in a loop, try this prompt:

“This is still not right. Take a step back — what would John Carmack do?”

Shockingly effective.

This week, I optimized my "Solomon's Path" app using #VSCode with the @augmentcode extension as much as I could. It has added customizations and my next iteration includes a sticky navigation of the budget summary.

Suleyman's argument of embedding the best parts of humanity into AI can be interpreted in different ways for different people.
We should be careful to not develop AI closer to humanity or else a bad actor may decide to explore putting negative parts into its development.
#TEDTalk

[Isaiah Lafleur @IsaiahSLafleur]

The metaphor of AI as a "new digital species" makes it feel as if Suleyman is giving AI more lifelike qualities.
I understand how he's trying to describe it, but it may be best to think of it as a tool, than to let it become too lifelike.

Considering the rapid acceleration of AI capabilities like autonomy and potential self-improvement is dangerous.
The ethical boundaries society needs to establish, is to not let AI make decisions. AI should give suggestions, but not have the authority to make its own decisions.

[Isaiah Lafleur @IsaiahSLafleur]

In the #TEDTalk with @TEDchris and @sama a statement that stuck out to me is the collective value preference of what everybody wants (not approving real-world harms) is better than some industry leaders making all the safety decisions for AI development.

Compared to last week, I'm extremely happy I was able to add some improvements to my "Solomon's Path" app with the help of @code and the @augmentcode extension. @joinpursuit #BuildInPublic

I read @DarioAmodei essay and thought what would life be like if everyone's job was done by AI?

In my opinion, everyone will experience an early retirement living creatively; hopefully with the help of a universal basic income system.

Last week, I completed the initial budget creation functionality for my app Solomon's Path.
This week, I'm setting up the modular architecture that will support AI components. Had many issues with the navigation logic, but the @augmentcode fixed it after I tried a better prompt.

[Isaiah Lafleur @IsaiahSLafleur]

I created the MVP of my app called "Solomon's Path" using @code with the @augmentcode extension.

By creating my Problem Statement, Product Requirements, MVP, and Modular Implementation Plan; was able to build in one prompt. @joinpursuit #BuildInPublic

I think students using Anthropic's "Learning Mode" in Claude for Education has potential benefits. It's good for them to spend time thinking instead of relying solely on AI to give the answers. Especially, when it can hallucinate. #Pursuit #AIInEducation

Sam Altman on what you need to do to survive in the age of artificial intelligence.

"You are about to enter the greatest golden age of human possibility..."

To thrive in that world, the skills that matter most are:

- Deep familiarity with the tools
- Staying abreast of changes
- Developing a great intuition for AI tools, where things are going, and how to make use of it
- Resilience and the ability to learn things fast and evolve yourself with technology

I know most of this stuff is a pretty big no-brainer for anyone paying attention, but here's the takeaway:

AI upskilling and keeping up with AI are possibly the most important skills in the world right now.

And the most fascinating part is that new AI developments and tools come out so fast that everyone is constantly learning.

I'd be willing to bet that if you're a complete beginner but spend 3 months of dedicated learning, you'd be fully caught up to power users.

In other words:

Spend 3 months learning → work 2-4x faster and future-proof yourself.

There's so much opportunity for anyone who just starts now.

@tobi AI is pretty much being used at other jobs as assistants. I think it's helpful for workers to have AI augment their work. But when it comes to automation, that may be a different issue.
