How I Debug 10× Faster with Cursor as My Pair‑Programmer for Vibe-Coders
1) Start Broad, Then Deep:
- Use (Claude 4, o4-mini) for big-picture debugging
- Use parent folder for full context.
- Prompt:
Step-by-step debug and resolve the issue "Web-socket reconnect fails..."
2) Manual Test Add Logs:
✅ If Fixed: mark “review change”
❌ If Not Fixed:
• Paste logs
• Increase/Decrease context scope for cursor
• Ask model to re-debug step-by-step
3) Review:
❌ Not Fixed:
• Go old school, step through, log deep, break it down line-by-line.
Why this works:
• Most devs drop a bug on Cursor and hope it magically fixes it.
• This workflow keeps you in the loop, and you’re pair-programming with superpowers. Switching to manually when needed
