My theory is that folks are hallucinating complex structure for these docs. If you read the Cursor forums, people are asking the Cursor LLM how to format them 🙃 Those shared above are the results of writing in the UI and what gets puts into version control.

My approach is that when I am annoyed by something I have to manually fix up, I go update the file.

Some of it is just impossible, like using the new Strong Params expects syntax given the training cutoffs. I’m not going to completely document the interface (cursor/rules can’t link to docs and can only link to a single file) . So I hint it, and it simply hallucinates the interface mostly correctly most of the time. Principle of Least Surprise in practice!

My .cursorrules were pretty inconsistent project to project, and I don’t believe that putting very generic things like “Use exceptions for exceptional cases, not for control flow” or “Use Active Record effectively” improves things.

For years, people have been using jemalloc with ruby. There were various benchmarks and discussions. Legend had it that Jemalloc 5 didn't work as well as Jemalloc 3.

Then, one day, hope appeared on the horizon. @wjordan offered a config for Jemalloc 5.
