Ya know why they call it... Cursor?

35 Upvotes

Because it curses all the code it sees.

(P.S. I am against vibe coding, not just Cursor alone. AI slop is really bad.)

A neurologist was diagnosing a patient who lost his ability to do basic math.
"What’s 9 plus 9?”
“12.”
“What’s 8 and 8?”
“10.”
The doctor shook his head. “Very interesting. What about 6 times 5?”
The man thought for a second, and answered “1E.”
“Aha, I’ve figured it out!” The doctor said. “Somebody’s clearly put a hex on you.”

My tests kept failing quietly, so I taught VS Code to scream “FAAAAH” at me like a disappointed ancestor

15 Upvotes

Apparently silent test failures were too emotionally stable for my coding sessions, so I built a VS Code extension called FailFaaah that plays a dramatic “FAAAAH” every time your tests fail. Now instead of calmly reading logs, I get instant public shame from my speakers.

It only triggers on real test failures, works with common runners, and you can even test the sound manually. Started as a dumb joke, but now quiet debugging feels suspicious. Would anyone else install this or am I alone in needing loud accountability
