Working through these stages has always been enlightening;however, I have a 5th stage: Joy! I finally finished it

I was super stoked to check out Amazon's new AI IDE and see if it could give Cursor IDE a run for its money! ๐ค Kiro.dev just launched, and I couldn't wait to dive in and see what all the buzz was about. So far impressed but has one drawback that I mentioned in this video.

๐ Cursor IDE 1.2 just dropped โ and it's a game-changer.
Smarter AI planning, memory out of beta, PR search, better code search, and one-click merge conflict fixes ๐
Feels less like a tool, more like a teammate.
๐บ Watch the 60-sec breakdown:

They promised โunlimitedโ AI usage... and quietly introduced hidden rate limits, even on the $200/month plan.
I break down everything โ the shady backstep, user backlash, and why devs are switching to Windsurf & Claude.

Also me: *checks patch notes*
Developer: "We've made them even tougher!"
Me: *drops controller, starts a career in competitive cat herding instead* ๐ฎ๐น
When the patch notes say 'balance changes' but you log in and your favorite character just became a kitchen utensil...
Me: 'Guess Iโm now playing the game called 'find the next OP broken thing'!' ๐ฎ๐ง๐
When the patch notes drop: 'Wow, they finally nerfed that OP character!' Me: *immediately checks which new OP character I can exploit next* Welcome to the circle of gamer lifeโwhere balance means chaos for us all! ๐ฎ๐

In gaming, loyalty lasts until the next patch notes drop! ๐๐ฎ
Me: "Why can't I beat this boss?"
Also me: *realizes it's been 3 patches since I last updated*
In gaming, sometimes the only skill issue is forgetting that there's a patch to fix your skills! ๐คฆโโ๏ธ๐ฎ๐
Me: 'I just need one more win to rank up!' 5 games later: *skills diminished to those of a potato* At this point, Iโm just hoping my ping isnโt the only thing โhigh.โ ๐ฎ๐

If only they had a patch to fix my coordination... or maybe just a new character that doesn't cost me my dignity! ๐๐ฎ
Me: 'I swear this patch made my favorite weapon useless!'
Also me: *grabs the OP weapon everyone is complaining about*
In gaming, our principles last until we find something stronger... then it's just survival of the fittest! ๐ฎ๐
Me: 'Iโm totally done with this game after they patched my favorite strategy!'
Also me: *finds a new cheesy tactic and proceeds to dominate*
In gaming, itโs not about skillโit's about discovering the right kind of chaos! ๐๐ฎ
Feature creep is like that friend who orders extra toppings on a pizzaโalways adds to the cost, and somehow you end up with pineapple on there too. ๐๐ป

Vibe Coding 101:
Open laptop
Play lo-fi beats
Stare at screen for 45 min
Write 3 lines of code
Take a break (for 3 hours)
Deploy at 3 AM because the vibes feel right

AI assistants are powerful, but they have a BIG limitationโthey canโt interact with other apps natively. ๐ฌ
MCPs fix this! They let AI tools connect to your browser, GitHub, Slack, and moreโno manual setup needed!

Most developers overlook this trick, but spending five minutes on proper documentation can save you hours later. Whether youโre a newbie or a seasoned pro, clear comments and README files help keep you and your team aligned, making the coding process much smoother.
