These days, I think that all new version control solutions now have to be examined in the light of how well they work with with coding agents.

In that light, the CRDT merging here is interesting, as it allows history preservation in scenarios that would otherwise be destructive. This way, agents can use worktrees with much less hassle as squash, rebase, merge become more straightforward.

With large projects, I've found that a good baseline is about 300-500 lines of output, and around 12 500 line files as input. Inside those limits, Cursor seems to do pretty well, but if you overstuff the context window (even within the supposedly supported limits) Claude Sonnet 3.5 tends to forget important attributes of the input.

Another critical component is to keep conversations short. Don't reuse the same conversation for more than one task, and try to engineer prompts to minimize the amount/size of edits.

I definitely agree that Cursor isn't a silver bullet, but it's one of the best tools I've found for bootstrapping large projects as a solo dev.

I find that they are slightly more sluggish than Moonlight/Sunshine for remote streaming, but generally faster/better than x11vnc. Not quite good enough for gaming yet, but plenty for web browsing, Blender, etc.
