Cursor + Claude 3.5 Sonnet is doing very dumb things

Just a quick tip – watch out for those “would you me to go ahead and…” questions. It’s something I noted in the addendum to the Idiot’s Guide post a little while back: if you get one of those, don’t respond with “yes”. You’ll want to make sure you always give something longer and more specific like “yes please go ahead and apply those most recent suggestions to improve the brangel widget” or whatever. From experience, a pure ‘yes’ has a dangerously high chance of making it jump into something completely irrelevant.
