“Continue” Is My Favorite Vibe Coding Windsurf Feature

3 min readApr 30, 2025

Windsurf is a new name for Codeium IDE for programming based on VSCode. What makes it special is that it has built-in AI features (VSCode does too btw). One thing that I really like about Windsurf is the Cascade mode, and specifically temporal awareness.

So here for example I have a Vue application with Pinia store:

So before I changed the Pinia store name, so now it is named useConversationStore, while the variable is still talkStore, while it should be conversationStore.

I can of course hit F2, and ask IDE refactoring to rename it properly, but it’s just an example that shows AI can do the same, and more. What I do is I rename the variable as usual:

Now, the template would need to be updated. There are several options for that, Windsurf already suggests to do the changes, but I don’t have to go over every change when refactoring the code with AI.

I can go to Cascade and just write “continue”:
