5 Cursor beginner mistakes to avoid: 1. Using AI pane instead of Composer 2. Not saving your project enough 3. Not including all files as context (and using mention) 4. Doing too many changes at once 5. Using Cursor for UI, instead of v0 Video to walk you through... it ⬇️show more

btw we have a group now for Cursor beginners to hang out and build projects together you can join here:

3. Context of the entire app is what makes Cursor so good. I have seen so many demo videos where people either don’t have the right files selected or none at all for context. Hope @cursor_ai team can make the UI a little more intuitive for non-developers.

@cursor_ai agree, that would be great. there’s quite a lot of things that can be improved actually

Wow, I’ve been doing it wrong the whole time. Didn’t even know about composer. Thank you

haha i had the same reaction when i found out

Thank you!!!!

no problem!

I literally have an alias called "save" that commits to my git repo for times when things hallucinate and go off the rails.

I’ve been making every single one of these mistakes 😅

i posted a good walkthru of using composer effectively with save states to build a feature or fix a function one at a time and not screw up the code base in this video - composer needs better tutorials so thank you !
