Hi Lee, could you please flip your video feed so it looks like you're facing the AGENT tab? Right now, my gaze goes to the left, away from the tab, and I have to consciously look right. Flipping it would make the experience feel more natural. ref image, nano banana made it a little weird 😅

Haha yeah, normally I do the video in the bottom right because of this, but I was showing *so much* agent stuff on the right I didn't want to have to constantly zoom/cut the headshot.

@FactoryAI has a much more fleshed out solution named Droid. I mean it’s just written in Rust compared to Typescript. It’ll get you further

Lee you are a gem to society. Question - how do you manage commits within the new agent window? Having trouble with that now, need multiple monitors

Lee Robinson's profile picture
Lee Robinson1 year ago

Are you primarily using the built-in git support for making commits? Instead of the command line for example. And you’re viewing that in the normal editor view?

I'm primarily using this view to stage then commit

Thanks for showing Cursor in action! Thoughts from a Claude Code user: 1. @ Branch seems inferior to saying "review changes on my current branch" 2. I wish CC could render Mermaid diagrams

On 1, you can ask that too. Agent will figure it out. It’s more about discoverability.
