A user on Reddit shared their experience with the AI coding assistant Cursor, detailing seven specific rules they implemented to prevent recurring mistakes. These rules address issues such as unintended code refactoring, incorrect error middleware configuration in Express, inefficient database connection handling, outdated Tauri invoke paths, unsafe use of `.unwrap()` in Rust, and the security risk of assigning user input to `innerHTML`. The user found that providing these explicit constraints to the AI, which lacks memory of their specific project's nuances, significantly improved its performance and reduced debugging time. AI
