    Cursor + Claude 3.7 Is Too Eager. For Some Edits Use Claude 3.5.

    It won't stfu.

    Both 3.7 and 3.7-thinking, sometimes, even though I told them in the prompt, in a rules.md file (and added in to context), and added in the Rules settings, it still add too much code, cluttering my files.

    I’ve found that in such cases, instead of insisting, just restore the files to before Claude 3.7 to where Claude wrote the excessive code, and switch to Claude 3.5. It will likely make the minimal edits needed.

    Undid a commit and lost a bunch of posts I was excited about

    Regrets.

    I’m just setting up my blog with Astro and I’m partly vibe coding it.

    I’m editing the content for my Astro blog in Obsidian. By default, Obsidian has wiki-style links, like [[link here|anchor text]] and Astro works with markdown links [such as this](suchasthis.com)

    So I swore up and down at Claude, while using it in in Cursor, and it couldn’t fix it.

    I even added Playwright MCP, so it automatically can open a browser and check how it renders for itself.

    Eventually I have up and I said fuck it, I’ll just change the Obsidian wiki style links to pure markdown links (yes, I could’ve done that from the start but I just had to make it difficult).

    BUT, before that, in a fit of rage, I undid all commits since I started this Wiki links endeavor, and mistakenly lost some articles I loved that I’ll probably never get back.
