I was doing something to graph some numbers against each other using pandas and whatnot recently.
I don't use this setup much or do this kind of work much. For the first part I stumbled through, doing it myself and referring to the docs.
Then I installed Cursor to give it a go. I did a few things in less than five minutes that would have taken me 30 minutes or more to read the docs, have a go, read stack overflow and go back and forth and code.
There is a question as to whether I would have understood things more and learnt things more deeply had I done it the old way.
But still. It's impressive. Coupled with good software engineering practice it's going to make people able to produce even more.
