It, undeniably, makes prototyping incredibly fast. I’ve been forcing myself to use Cursor for the past month, and could create a fairly functional web app, given my skills aren’t front end dev. Very sweet for one off deterministic python scripts, figuring out the UI bugs, filling up boilerplate code and especially handy with languages/frameworks you’re not that familiar with.

Sure, we’re not at the “hook it up to prod codebase and ask it to make features from scratch” phase, but we didn’t have this 2 years ago either. But writing it off as completely useless? Nah.

I’m more of a process oriented person, who more or less cares about code quality. And as of now, it kinda sucks for it. However if your main goal is just the result, it’s delivering good stuff.
