Rusira Sathnindu - PeerSpot reviewer
Automation Engineer at a tech services company with 1-10 employees
AI coding has accelerated our feature delivery and has transformed how our team builds services
I have been noticing recently that Cursor introduced their own model, which is pretty limited; it is very fast, but it is not smart. They might have to improve that, along with the agent selection methodology. When you select auto, you expect it to use the best agent possible and think of the money savings, but it does not always work as expected, sometimes providing bad code or code that has bugs. I think the auto mode selection can improve. Another concern is the pricing; we have been paying a lot for Cursor recently, which I feel has increased within the last few months, possibly due to our usage going up. We are paying an amount similar to a developer's salary for Cursor now. I believe all the needed improvements are primarily around the auto agent selection mode and pricing. If they could be more transparent about it, that would be appreciated. We only see the bill at the end of the month, and it is often a high amount, so transparency in the pricing would be very helpful for us as developers.
Vlad Chiriacescu - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Software Engineer at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
Using an AI assistant has streamlined code discovery and has accelerated my development work
I did face some issues with Sourcegraph, such as making a lot of patches and upgrades very quickly. I was surprised in summer when they deprecated Cody, prompting me to switch to AMP, but I adapted. I think a few months later, they informed me I should update because they had a nice UI on the latest version of AMP. I was a little behind with updating it, so I had to ask them for instructions at some point, but I would say that is rather minor compared to the experience of using the assistant, especially considering I was using no assistant in 2024. The interface of Sourcegraph was a bit unusual as it was more terminal-based, especially for AMP. Although it didn't stop me from working, I did find that sometimes the terminal-based UI would post sayings from people who used AI, and they were sometimes truncated, which made it difficult to read the full sentences. This is more of a nitpick, as in the grand scheme of things, my overall experience with it was positive.
