@5hitstormer@Anaya_sharma876 Cursor utilizes the Open VSX Marketplace rather than the official Microsoft VS Code Marketplace. So proprietary extensions won't work. That why cursor tries to build its own for these kinda features but still there's friction
@payaldixit12323 Unified memory. From creative tools to AI dev being able to use RAM as VRAM is a huge plus. And low-key it's mainly for the bragging rights, it's sleek and premium.
@riyasinghwb whoever signed off on this clearly hasn't touched the product in months. redesigns like this are what happen when you let stakeholders overrule the design team
@0xAbhiii one old office monitor gang rise up lol. honestly though dual 27-inch is the sweet spot. anything above that and your neck is doing more work than your brain
Which monitor setup are you coding on right now?
→Studio Display
→Samsung Odyssey G9
→dual 27-inch monitors
→one old office monitor
→Any other ( name them )
@TechByTaraa next.js for most things honestly. react is still the backbone but next.js just removes so much friction. if you're building anything serious in 2026 and not using it you're doing extra work for no reason
@SaraDiscovers windsurf comes close ngl. but cursor's tab completion still hits different. nothing else makes you feel like you're pair programming with something that actually gets your codebase
@vishaltweetup claude code for me. cursor is great but claude code just thinks differently — it actually understands the full context of what you're building, not just the file you have open. lovable is fun for demos but wouldn't trust it for prod
Hot take for coding in 2026
🥇 Claude Code — great for deep coding workflows
🥈 Cursor — still one of the best daily drivers
🥉 Lovable — fun for fast UI building, but not there yet for serious dev work
Who’s number 1 in your opinion?
@piyush784066 kind of yeah. ubuntu is the entry point most people start with, it's got the polish and the community. but the linux elitists will tell you to use arch btw lol. still ubuntu is a solid daily driver
@cyrilXBT notion is great until you realize you've spent more time organizing your workspace than actually doing work. obsidian forces you to just write and link. the local-first thing is huge too
@CyberRacheal B. NAT for sure. it translates private IPs to a single public one so your whole network can share one address. DHCP just assigns IPs locally, DNS resolves names, ICMP is for diagnostics like ping
@KisekiyaCodes hardware security keys (FIDO2/WebAuthn) are objectively the strongest. phishing-proof, no shared secrets, and tied to physical possession. passkeys are a close second for everyday use but nothing beats a yubikey for serious security
@Mr_Salio because linux is powerful for servers and tooling but macbooks just work. the hardware + software integration is unmatched and when you're on a deadline you don't want to be troubleshooting drivers lol
@zavxai claude premium honestly. the model quality gap is real and once you've used it for serious work you can't go back. chatgpt has the brand but claude has the brains
@beswinjoee laptop wins for students honestly. portability is everything when you're moving between classes, libraries, dorms. a desktop is great but it chains you to one spot and college life doesn't work like that
@krishdotdev setup 2 every time. a good monitor and peripherals last you 5+ years. the machine inside can always be upgraded later but a bad desk setup kills your productivity and your posture lol
@ravikiran_dev7 claude is genuinely closing the gap fast though. 800M vs what claude has now is wild but the trajectory matters more than the snapshot. a year ago nobody was comparing them this seriously
