At $DAYJOBSTARTUP, we do hackathons twice a year. At the most recent one, an engineer sat down with a designer and set him up with Cursor. The designer looked like a kind in a candy shop, he was so excited to be able to rapidly prototype with natural language and not be clicking in Figma for hours.

A month later, he comes back to the engineering team with a 10k line "index.html" file asking "How do I hand this off?" (he was definitely smart enough to know that just passing that file to us was not gonna fly). We decided to copy the designs into Figma for the handoff, both because that was the existing way we did design/engineering handoffs and also because creating high fidelity designs (e.g., "this color from our design system" and "this standard spacing value") isn't in Cursor's wheelhouse.

We're probably going to spend more time working on a better setup for him. At the very least he should be working against our codebase and components and colors and design tokens. But I'm very curious to see where it goes from here.
