In this episode of the podcast, Greg interviews Lee Robinson from the Cursor team about how to maximize the use of Cursor, an AI-powered code editor. Lee shares practical tips, including using AI agents for tasks like security and bug fixing, emphasizing the importance of creating new chats for each discrete task to optimize the AI's context window. He also discusses custom commands and rules within Cursor, such as code review prompts and banned word lists for writing. Lee introduces BugBot, a code review bot, and demonstrates how Cursor agents can be used headlessly via the CLI for automation. They explore the concept of personal software and the potential for building custom debugging tools, as well as the idea of "distribution engineers" who focus on getting software used.
