i've been using ai to develop for a while now.
cursor is my favorite ai development tool.
the key to using cursor is learning how to use the various tools such as the inline code generator or the composer. llms are great for coding, but they are not great at very niche codebases. especially when you are working on a codebase that has sensitive code.
if you must work on a codebase that has sensitive code, you can use llms to help you. but you will need to be careful. i find that separating the code or feature into a smaller isolated chunk/project works well and can help you rapidly prototype features.
if you have the flexibility of starting from scratch, i highly recommend using
bolt to start building a product using modern frameworks. iterate with cursor.
