Have you ever spent 20 minutes looking for a conversation you had with Cursor last week? The one where it helped you fix a tricky async bug—and now you're facing the same issue in a different project, but can't find that thread anywhere? This isn't a user error. It's a structural limitation in how Cursor handles session history. Cursor includes a built-in conversation history panel. You can browse
Introduction Picture two doctors updating the same patient record at the same time - one in São Paulo, the other in London. Both are offline. When connectivity returns, whose changes prevail? This is not a hypothetical. It is the everyday reality of distributed systems: multiple nodes, no shared clock, no guaranteed network. The conventional answer has long been locking - one node waits while an
Introduction Some code works. Some code lasts. The difference rarely comes down to typing speed, syntax mastery, or how many nights you're willing to push through. It comes down to how you think about a problem before you write a single line. Big-O notation is a mathematical framework that describes how an algorithm performs as its input grows. In plain terms, it answers one question:
llms.txt is a small text file on a documentation site—usually lists what the product is and links to the important Markdown pages. For coding agents, treat it as the canonical URL to open first when upstream behavior is unclear. This post is mostly setup and workflow, not theory. Location Put this there Official doc server https://example.com/llms.txt (maintained by the library/vendor) Y
This post was created with AI assistance and reviewed for accuracy before publishing. Cursor can use project rules and documentation to steer behavior. Exact file names and mechanisms evolve; check Cursor documentation for the current layout (for example rules in .cursor or legacy .cursorrules patterns). Short, enforceable bullets beat long essays: stack versions, test commands, “no new dependenci
"Write a function to fetch the list of users." — same prompt, same codebase. Yesterday: getUsers(). Today: fetchUserList(). Tomorrow: loadAllUsers(). Six months of AI-assisted coding and I kept hitting this wall. My initial reaction was "maybe I need to write better prompts." I wrote better prompts. The functions got slightly better. New inconsistencies appeared elsewhere. The problem wasn't the A
If you use ChatGPT, Claude, Grok, Copilot, or Gemini daily, it feels like you're talking to a person. It remembers what you said three messages ago. It references the project details you shared yesterday. It feels like the model has a persistent brain that is learning about you. But it’s a lie. From an architectural standpoint, an LLM is the most "forgetful" piece of software you will ever use. Ev
Most symbolic systems rely on multiple primitives. Addition, multiplication, exponentials, logarithms — each plays a different role in structuring expressions. But what happens if you force everything through a single operator? This idea becomes concrete with the EML operator: eml(x, y) = exp(x) − ln(y) In theory, this operator can express all elementary functions. But theory doesn’t tell us what
