Summary from the TLDR AI newsletter

Profiling is the best way to separate code that looks good from code that is actually good. The Pyroscope Performance Profiler is a Cursor extension that takes profiling data and paints it right on the code. It allows developers to look at multiple solutions generated by different agents and pick the best based on real numbers. Performance comparisons across deployments, trend analysis, and incident inspection can all be done inside the editor without going to a separate UI.
