I’ve been using cursor for a while now and I think that if a problem is simple enough for an LLM to work out on its own, it’s probably not worth scratching one’s head over…



I dont think people need to think, that the AI is supposed to make complicated code

i think for the most part its meant to help you "get past" all the generic code you usually write in the beginning of a project, generic functions you need in almost all systems, etc.


I'm not sure that's a good heuristic? People love playing Tetris or solving crossword puzzles, and machines are much better at them than us.


People keep playing trivial or repetitive games because they enjoy it. People keep writing trivial or repetitive code because they have to.


…or maybe because they actually enjoy it the same as the games?


Agreed with added experience of mine: sometimes Cursos gives me a simpler yet perfect solution. And I am grateful for it.


I don't agree, in the initial stages solving problems without LLMs will give a good enough knowledge about the intricacies involved and it helps develop a structured approach while solving a problem!
