Builders... cursor is stupid

Have you ever had an aha moment?

I had one a few weeks ago. I was trying to build a new feature for my product and I was getting frustrated at how long it was taking. I'm getting so used to having AI do the work for me in other parts of life that doing coding myself was starting to feel like a lot of effort. I felt like I was spending more time searching for answers than actually building. Not good.

I enjoy coding but I also know that it's going to become obsolete (to a point) in the future. Either you use AI to help or you're programming skills (and job opportunities) will suffer. It's as simple as that.

So I decided to give Cursor a try. For those who don't know, it's an AI assisted IDE. If you've used VS Code before then it will look very familiar to you.

I downloaded it, entered in my first prompt and I was absolutely blown away. This thing is ridiculous. I've never come across a bit of software so powerful. Within minutes I had a new app up and running and within hours it was live. If you're interested you can check out what I'm building here.

I have no affiliation with Cursor whatsoever but I feel compelled to get the word out there. It's honestly stupidly good. It's a builders dream.

If you're a coder or want to build an app and don't want to waste months coding everything yourself, give it a try. You won't regret it. This will literally save you months of time and countless headaches. It's rare that you come across software that fits the definition of a "pain killer". This is definitely it.
