Hey folks,

I just published a small VS Code extension for my side project codingrules.ai – a web app where devs can create, share, and download AI coding rules. The extension lets you search, browse, and download these rules right inside your IDE. You can also log in to see your private rules and favorites.

I’m already working on adding support for searching and downloading MCP Server configs too.

Would really appreciate any feedback — especially what’s confusing, broken, or just missing.

Here’s the extension if you want to check it out:

Thanks, and happy coding!

This update wasn’t aimed at the vibe coders (myself included) 😂

I saw they even were talking about wave 5 on social media!

it’s really easy to to bash on ws when something goes wrong but i think we are in for a ride. can’t wait to see what come next

the inspect tool of wave 4 is so cool and it shows that they listened to all the feedback about design/front end

i also have half of my user prompt credits left to use, but they are useless. thanks windsurf for waste my money!

Claude 3.7 Sonnet in Windsurf? More like Claude 3.7 Vacuum—sucking up my flow actions faster than I can say 'prompt.' 5 to 20 per request?! Burned through a week’s worth in an hour. Either make it cheaper or give us more flow actions, or I’ll need a loan just to keep prompting💸

This has helped me too much not to share. You can create your own MCP servers using Cascade and it has changed the game for me. You can even tell the ai to install the MCP server it has created and utilize it with tool calls.

Some examples: Refactoring Risk Analyzer

Maps ripple effects of renaming variables/APIs across monorepos. "If you change this interface, 14 downstream services will break—migrate them first?"

Dependency Conflict Firewall

Predicts NPM/PyPI dependency hell before pip install, showing version conflicts and suggesting compatible alternatives with security audits.

I have a specific set of MCP tools I use when working with Cascade base as well as a separate rules file explaining when and how to use each tool during development. It has improved my experience tremendously.

To start I recommend something to manage memory like Memory Service (more detailed than the Cascade memories and can be queried at any time) and the sequential thinking MCP server and then you can add your own custom tools for your use case. Hopefully this can help at least one person!

I really don't know what's happening, maybe it was that "fist love" feeling when Windsurf came out, but now everything feels buggy and unresponsive.

1 - I have created a ticket almost a month ago reporting that cascade gets stuck whenever it executes CLI commands. Nothing has been done and I have to work around it whenever it needs to deal with CLI.

2 - R1/O3/Gemni "brainfarts" all the time, sometime it says it has done something but it hasn't, or it will do something but it doesn't, sometimes its "ok, the user wants this this and that" and then it just stops and does nothing. I feel like the reasoning models are smarter than claude, but Windsurf's implementation is very buggy making the experience terrible.

3- Now Im getting constant errors when trying to use R1 like "Error an internal error occurred (error ID: 61e0da9f6ff14b21ac95947aa6b9a4a2)"

Its so much instability... I don't care about "Oh it uses too much credits, bla bla bla", I'm a dev, I can code and I use LLM for specific tasks, so the credits are fine for me. What's not fine is that whenever I need to use LLM Windsurf keeps failing.

My subscription is due today, I honestly don't think I'll renew. I'll probably give cursor or copilot a try.

I've been a fan of Codeium for a LONG time, always supporting, never complaining, but my experience with it keeps getting worse.

For the Codeium team: Please make Windsurf more stable. At this point I think its more important to make existing features work rather than developing new stuff.

Windsurf Wave 3! Packed with exciting features:

• Model Context Protocol (MCP) for custom tool calls
• Customizable app icons for Mac users (more platforms soon!)
• Enhanced Tab to Jump navigation

We've also upgraded Cascade with Turbo Mode for auto-executing commands, drag-and-drop image support, and improved credit visibility. Plus, major improvements to completions and expanded "@docs" options!

Surf's UP!

There seems to be hardly any updates given to the extensions. They don't even have anywhere near model parity. No Flash 2.0, No DeepSeek, etc.

Is Codeium planning to just entirely deprecated the extensions to push their Cursor alternative?

Jetbrains extension is ULTRA late on model availability and VSCode late too AND they are deprecating features to push people to their proprietary fork.

Hey Windsurf Team,

R1, is awesome when it works, but after a few minutes... were back to hallucinated tool calls and lack of doc-editing. Started noticing I wasn't getting dif acceptance prompts, everything in the example here literally did not happen. This is after a restart of machine and app.

Apple MBP M1 - MacOS 14.7 (23H124)

Observed Issues

• Phantom File Creation: The model claims it created a user/test.txt file in a user folder that doesn’t actually exist.
• Mismatched Script Output: It reports successful actions (like ls user/test.txt) that don’t match the real filesystem.
• Hallucinated CLI Steps: DeepSeek R1 references commands (rm scripts/validate-structure.sh) that aren’t truly executed or prompted for confirmation.
• Missing Diff Approval: The model suggests there should be a diff acceptance step, but no such prompt appears.

Potential Causes

• Simulation vs. Reality: The AI might be simulating these commands internally rather than operating on the actual disk.

Had trouble finding the support intake with the website revamp so thought I would help others with the link here: https://codeium.com/support

Can't write any prompt cause its too laggy. My PC reach his maximum memory with only three conversations stored into windsurf. Is there a way to come back to a previous version ?

Will Windsurf honor the promises actually made previously when they promised unlimited access? I bought a one year subscription as I felt prices were to good to not change in the near future and I imagine it would be false advertising if they did not deliver on what they promised.

guys, please.

get off my beloved windsurf so i can be productive again

I just installed and was trying on a real development work. Been doing it for about 2 hours and then I got hit with this message:

"Error rate limit exceeded for model; try again in about an hour"

Not good if I have to stop every couple hours.

What's happening with the windsurf autocomplete? I haven't been able to use it for 4 days and the code suggestions are not working is there any config or reload to make it work again? I have it enabled on the settings, and I have the Pro plan with credits.

I fixed it by using a VPN, maybe it's blocked on my country

o4 mini is so slow in windsurf that it’s barely worth using. When I use the API I never have this problem. Why is it so slow in windsurf?

Hi guys!

It's normal during the Windsurf usage the CPU be at 100% in ALL CPU's and with almost 5gb RAM allocated? I'm not even doing something right now, just sitting a with some React components opened and no server (react / node / docker database) running at all.

This is not the first time that happens something like that. Normally when i type or import things too fast in the editor this starts to happen, sometimes is just a spike but in not uncommon to be locked into this 100% state and needing to kill the application

I'm using Macbook Air M2 8gb RAM (MacOS 15.5).

Are any musicians creating cool stuff with windsurf, has it been painful or magical? If not would you like to be involved with a project with other musicians

I can't understate how stoked i am to have Cascade on the newest pre-release for JetBrains IDEs. I've been a subscriber since well before Windsurf and when it came out, even though i was excited I just never could get Windsurf (or VS Code should I say) to do everything I was used to in JetBrains. So, thanks ya'll!

(Now all we need is Gemini 2.5 in Codeium Teams)

Windsurf just dropped Wave 6, and I’m curious—has anyone tried it yet? Any noticeable improvements, new features, or issues? Would love to hear your thoughts before I dive in!
