Awesome Go

Cursor and Claude are effective not just for prototyping but also for maintaining large software projects. Their use can accelerate development processes by structuring, refactoring, and testing code efficiently. Stream CEO Thierry shares a workflow for using Cursor to manage a large Go codebase, emphasizing the importance of a good edit and test loop and the use of dedicated documentation folders for AI. The guide also covers steps for setting up Cursor, highlights the combination with Goland for debugging and refactoring, and provides tips for maximizing AI benefits in software development.

Cursor for Large Projects

So many great tips for vibe coding! I guess now we have to take care of docs much more than before

I love the fact this is not just another hype train advice — it’s packed with real tips.

TL;DR put AI guidelines in an AI docs folder. and include relevant doc. Tell AI to write tests and run them. BUT no docs are shared.

maybe i missed the point about maintaining lar projects.
anyone can explain?
there is already open source task-master like projects that help with creating tasks, subtasks etc, and all rule for cursor and windsurf

Oh wow, finally—AI tools that don’t just generate spaghetti code at lightning speed, but also stick around to clean it up. Who knew the future of software development would involve convincing our robot overlords to babysit our technical debt and write documentation folders we’ll still ignore?
