• As SpaceX deal looms, Cursor partners with Chainguard to secure open-source dependencies in AI-built code

  Cursor has spent the past week in headlines after confirming a partnership with SpaceX that could eventually lead to a $60 billion acquisition. The deal, for now, centres on training more capable coding models using SpaceX’s compute infrastructure. - Source: dev.to / about 2 months ago

• How to Get Your First Tool Online

  The step up from there is an editor with a built-in agent like Cursor, Google Antigravity, Windsurf, or VS Code with a coding extension. These are code editors with an AI agent living inside them, and the difference is the responsible party for getting things from place to place. Instead of the software creator shuttling code between windows, the AI agent edits the project files directly and runs the GitHub and... - Source: dev.to / 2 months ago

• I almost credited llms.txt for a Google AI Mode win. Then I read what Google actually says.

  Where llms.txt genuinely gets read is a different layer: coding and agent tooling — Cursor, Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Windsurf — pulling a documentation site's pages with less token waste, plus emerging agent protocols like OpenAI's Agents SDK. That's real, and it's growing fast. - Source: dev.to / 2 months ago

• Tokens, Context, and Why Small AI Tasks Aren't Cheap

  If you don’t believe me, go to Google AI Studio, get you an API key, create a project, then open Cursor, add the key, add whatever model they have available to use, run a task and you will see how models like Gemini 3.5 or 2.5 Flash which gives you 5 Requests Per Minute and 20 Requests Per Day will scream at you with hitting a limit rate. - Source: dev.to / 3 months ago

• Use LLM for EDA licenses analysis

  Here is an example how to connect Prometheus DB to Cursor AI code editor. - Source: dev.to / about 1 year ago

• Git rebase -I is not that scary

  Have you ever read any of the introductory material that the git project itself maintains for teaching how to use the tool? - https://git-scm.com/docs/gittutorial - https://git-scm.com/docs/giteveryday - https://git-scm.com/docs/gitworkflows - https://git-scm.com/docs/gitfaq - https://git-scm.com/cheat-sheet Or if you want to sit down and really learn the nuts and bolts - https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 month ago

• The Git history command deserves more attention

  I was uncomfortable with git until I read (the first 3 chapters of) the pro git book ( free here : https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2 ). It provides a great mental model of how git works under the hood. The UI of git - for better or worse - directly reflects its internals. And when I understood them, everything clicked into place. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 months ago

• Ask HN: We just had an actual UUID v4 collision...

  This reminds me of a passage from the book "Pro Git". "Here’s an example to give you an idea of what it would take to get a SHA-1 collision. If all 6.5 billion humans on Earth were programming, and every second, each one was producing code that was the equivalent of the entire Linux kernel history (6.5 million Git objects) and pushing it into one enormous Git repository, it would... - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

• Git Under the Hood: What Actually Happens When You Commit

  If you want to go deeper into how Git actually works, the Pro Git book is the best resource out there. It is free to read online at https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2 and covers everything from basics to advanced internals. I highly recommend it if you really want to master Git. - Source: dev.to / 4 months ago

• The Git Commands I Run Before Reading Any Code

  The relevant XKCD comic https://xkcd.com/1597/ FWIW I too was once a "memorised a few commands and that was it" type of dev, then I read 3 chapters of the Git book https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2 (well really two, the first chapter was a "these are things you already know") and wow did my life with git change. - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago
