I love LLMs, and I really like programming with Cursor, but I never managed to get the "agents with tons of stuff in their context" mode to work for me. I use Cursor like a glorified code completer, 4-5 lines at a time, because otherwise the LLM just makes too many mistakes that compound.

If you let it run in the "write my code for me" mode, and ask it to fix some mistake it made, it will always add more code, never remove any. In my experience, in the end the code just ends up so brittle that the LLM will soon get stuck at a point that it never manages to overcome some mistake, no matter how many times it tries.

Has anyone managed to solve this?

imo cursor's small context window on the $20 plan is what kills their agent mode. Try claude code or anything that lets you use larger context windows (I think cursor has a tier you can pay for now?). claude code regularly deletes and corrects code and LLMs are very much capable of that today.
