I wish I could get cursor to work for me, but I find more and more that I rarely want an AI in my IDE auto suggesting stuff to me. And when I tried to chat with a few open source code repos with cursor, it always disappointed. I don’t think generic RAG or whatever they use in the backend works great for that use case.

Productivity gains are up and down. I iterate A LOT. The prompts matter. Dumping lots of context or code examples of how libraries seems to work often makes the difference.

The most useful thing for me is that I can get an AI opinion on anything now. It might be wrong, but I don’t have to start from scratch with anything.
