The latest @windsurf is going backwards. The UI is harder to use and less informative, it also seems to take longer and do more without you asking, creating todo lists for answering simple questions. It seems they're gearing towards vibe coding and not professional engineers.

This is an issue with the person directing the AI not the AI. I rarely have this problem
The #1 problem with coding agents right now:
Ask them to solve one problem, and they will make 10 other changes you didn't want.
This happens to me every day. It happens to everyone I talk to as well.
We have a solution for this now. The team @augmentcode released a "Task coding assistant that solves this problem. Augment Code is partnering with me on this post.
In case you haven't used them before:
• Augment Code is a fully-fledged coding assistant
• Their specialty are large projects
• Fastest coding indexing I've seen
• Has a free forever community edition
Now, you can ask their coding agent to generate a Task List before doing anything. This will give you a plan you can review, edit, and augment if you need to.
You can export this plan, load it on a different session, or even share it across projects.
It makes a huge difference:
The task list constrains the agent so you won't get any "unintended" changes anymore. It also puts you in control of everything the agent does.
Check the video to see the agent working through a task list. You can also try this 100% free: fnf.dev/40QdoMo
(By the way, they also have support for remote agents. You can basically have those agents write your code while you are sleeping.)

If that's how you think, you're NGMI
Many engineers have the "imagine paying for this" fallacy
Yes, I would gladly pay $100 for a chromium wrapper that has a better design and makes me +50% more productive
Many other people would.
Congrats, you just discovered commerce!
No ones gives a shit about the fact that "it's just a wrapper" or that you could "make it yourself".
That's precisely the point: you don't waste time making it yourself when someone else can do it for you.
Do you buy vegetables at the supermarket?
"NO HAHAHA, IMAGINE PAYING FOR CARROTS YOU CAN GROW IN YOUR GARDEN xD"

Techbros are saying they'd spend $100 on a chromium wrapper
Their brains are leaking out of their ears

“The UK government has agreed to give some concessions on food and agriculture imports from the United States to secure an easing of export tariffs for the car industry.”

This is one area the UK & Europe need to stand firm. They're a mess in many regards but their food standards are superior and we should be adopting them not the other way around.
This is an interesting two minutes.
-President Trump was asked if we were going to change our meat standards since the UK will not accept our food since it’s full of chemicals.
-Trump says Bobby is working on this.
-Then Secretary Rollins (USDA) immediately backtracks, “to beef is the safest, the best quality, and the crowned jewel of American agriculture for the world.”
That is simply not true. That’s why they won’t take our beef today.

Yeah this is crazy. For something critical like this i expected the NSA or arm of the military would be building this in house.
**If true**, why was the U.S. Government using a foreign built technology (I don’t care which foreign) to capture these messages?
Would literally be such a juicy intel target that I just straight up assume it’s being exploited.

I disagree, most of the knowledge is already in Slack (and equivalent) messaging systems, emails and documentation. AI will be able to consume all that and provide answers based on that knowledge, i don't think explicitly documenting it will be necessary.
Optimizing AI agents requires writing down the valuable institutional knowledge in your company. Big co’s will struggle with this: middle managers worry about becoming replaceable and leaders worry about leaks. If they don’t do it, they’ll be crushed by competitors who do.

This is complete nonsense. MVP literally stands for Minimum Viable PRODUCT. It's to figure out if people actually see value in the solving of the problem you identified. Seeing if an idea actually works is a POC (Proof of Concept)
A lot of people fail because they mix up building with validating.
An MVP helps you see if the idea works.
A product proves people actually want it.
The MVP is messy.
The product is refined.
One helps you learn.
The other helps you grow.
Start small.
Ship fast.
Learn out loud.
You’re not building to impress anyone.
You’re building to figure it out.
That’s how real traction starts.

I really doubt this. Prompting just isn't that hard. Unless i'm doing something super complex which is on the edge of what an LLM can do most the time my prompts give the results i want. I think people are making "prompting" out to be something way harder then it is.
Writing 10x prompts will be regarded with similar awe and reverence as we have today for cracked 10x engineers

Our new Model Context Protocol (MCP) server is a powerful open standard for connecting AI models to real-time data, making it easier than ever to query MongoDB from AI apps like @windsurf_ai, AI assistants like Claude, and Dev environments like @code.

This always seemed an obvious use case which i never understood why it didn't take off. All i can think is regulation basically killed this before it could get started.

This has long been my viewpoint as well. At least some people get it. A truly intelligent AI is not going to waste time gathering the meager resources of Earth.
a lot of doomers think AIs will exterminate us to take over the resources on earth, but this completely fails to grasp the size of the solar system. all the interesting mass and energy for the future is off-world (for both man and machine) and there's plenty to go around

Yes. Use API keys, you'll end up paying way less then a subscription. apps.apple.com/us/app/ventusa…
is there a chat app that has all AI models for one subscription?

And here's the crux. This is the reality, the Pro-Palestine side say they're just exercising their 1A rights but they've been engaged in behavior like this. Then the media cover for them calling it protesting, you're free to say what you want, you're not free to inhibit movement
Pro-Palestinian students have pulled these kind of blockades for years now. They have the right to protest, but don't have the right to block students, and if they're specifically targeting Jewish students to prevent them from crossing, then that is not just harassment, but even assault, as blocking comes with an implicit threat that anyone trying to get through will be met with physical force.
Yale needs to investigate this.
