I'm now running my project inside a Dev Container in Cursor. I went from a dozen troubleshooting sessions every week trying to fix people's environments to zero. Dev Containers just work. More developers should consider them.

Dev containers are amazing. I’m surprised more people don’t talk about them!

Alan Tan1 year ago

Yeah. Long time fan of dev containers. There are even neovim plugin to support dev containers now… not as smooth as the VSCode experience. One main complain I had about early cursor was the inability to support dev containers - the option was there but it did not work. Good to know it’s been fixed now.

I didn't know it was broken before in Cursor. Well, it's working now!

What can we use if we want to ditch VSC? Its look makes me 🤮

Extremely interesting!

progress instead of bottlenecks! you can get a lot of work done when you're not troubleshooting env issues and unsatisfied dependencies

It worked like a charm, awesome!

I use devcontainers and devbox. Very handy

Top 1 upgrade for your development environment: Start using Dev Containers. During every cohort of my Machine Learning Engineering program, 100+ developers try to run a complex system on their computers. I was wasting 10+ hours every week troubleshooting individual configurations. It was exhausting! I started using Dev Container, and now people are up and running in 2 minutes with no issues. Dev Containers are probably one of the best upgrades you'll make to your environment. They asked me to record a video in class to show them how to create a Dev Container for any project. Here is that video.

karpathy’s been saying it: we’re moving from IDEs to a new kind of dev interface. this is my take: a macOS app for running multiple workstreams per project (and multiple projects at once), each with its own workspace (ghostty terminal, claude session, browser), all in parallel. blazing fast. free and open source, as dev toolboxes should be:

Development containers are awesome, especially when you can swap the hardware running your environment without changing a single thing. Apparently, I've been living under a rock because I didn't know about this. I recorded a 3-min video to show you Gitpod Flex running on my laptop. This takes less than 5 minutes to configure and run. Here is a quick summary: 1. One click to run any of my GitHub projects in a container, isolated from everything else. 2. I can use Visual Studio Code, JetBrains, Cursor, or any other IDE that supports development containers. 3. I don't have to mess up with my computer anymore (or have 17 versions of Python installed) ← this alone is awesome! 4. I can spin up a runner in AWS with my dev container and have access to any hardware I want while developing. 5. I can configure one-click buttons to run services and tasks I need every day. 6. I can share the environment with anyone on my team. I left this for the end, but I know this is one of the most important features of Gitpod Flex: They built a zero-trust architecture to manage these development environments. This is huge for those working at companies where security is crucial. Below is the link with an explanation of how they built their architecture. Thanks to the Gitpod team for their work on Flex and for sponsoring this post. I have it running now, and I'm planning to keep using it!

Punchmade Dev was SICK watching old videos of himself flexing exotic cars and jewelry he recently had to sell after falling off from scamming 😭💔 "I'm sick. I had to sell ALL my cars and jewelry." "Now I'm driving a FORD every day."

cursor just made every $200/month copilot subscription look like a scam dropped today with their own coding model what took 8 hours of manual coding now takes 30 seconds and it runs 8 versions of itself in parallel to pick the best solution while github's charging $20/month for autocomplete, cursor built an entire autonomous dev team composer model: → 4x faster than gpt/claude → completes full features in <30 seconds → tests its own code automatically → built with reinforcement learning on real codebases here's what's actually wild: most companies paying $150k/year for junior devs to do work this does for $20/month just saved a client $253k/month migrating their dev work to cursor's multi-agent system the intelligence gap between "we hired 3 developers" and "we deployed cursor" is getting stupid comment "COMPOSER" and ill send the full breakdown of how to replace your dev costs with this

Launching my game in 2 weeks. I expected to feel excited, but honestly? I'm mostly nervous. Is this normal for a dev? 😳

I just released a beta version of /dev/push. It's basically a (simpler) alternative to Vercel, Render, and the likes. You can log in with GitHub, pick a repo, configure your build and off you go. Whenever you push code to GitHub it will automatically deploy it for you. There's obviously more to it: environments, custom domains, environment variables, custom commands, teams... And I'm working on adding more: custom Docker containers, remote nodes, SQLite database, support for PHP, RoR... It's completely free and open source (MIT license). The online version is for now restricted as I test things up. Links below👇

I went from chasing Web2 jobs to earning 5X–10X more in Web3—without working for any company! Just hackathons, grants, and building. 💡 Web3 isn’t just about smart contracts—frontend, backend, APIs, and integrations matter too! If you’re a Web2 dev, NOW is the best time to transition. No excuses. Let’s build!

I added a Knowledge Graph to Cursor using MCP. You gotta see this working! Knowledge graphs are a game-changer for AI Agents, and this is one example of how you can take advantage of them. How this works: 1. Cursor connects to Graphiti's MCP Server. Graphiti is a very popular open-source Knowledge Graph library for AI agents. 2. Graphiti connects to Neo4j running locally. Now, every time I interact with Cursor, the information is synthesized and stored in the knowledge graph. In short, Cursor now "remembers" everything about our project. Huge! Here is the video I recorded.
