Gostaríamos de fazer um pedido especial à nossa comunidade.

Recebemos pedidos de instituições públicas e projetos sociais que ensinam programação para pessoas em situação de vulnerabilidade, que adorariam participar da Python Brasil. Infelizmente, não temos verba para custear esses ingressos.

So far I've had no success doing any significant code refactoring using AI. It always ends up with code that is too bloated, it abstracts more than it should and over-complicates things. It frequently breaks nuanced use-cases or forgets something.

I expected Cursor Compose to be better at refactoring but I've notice it often makes small mistakes or simply forgets some piece of the code and because of that I end up not trusting it with the job.

"When reading code, you put things like values of variables, control flow logic and call sequences into your head. The average person can hold four such chunks in working memory. Once the cognitive load reaches this threshold, it becomes much harder to understand things."
