    My productivity has at least tripled since I started using Cursor. People are actually underestimating the effects that AI will have in the industry

      It means the AI is very helpful to you. This also means you are as good as 1/3 of an AI in coding skills…

      Which is not a great news for you mate.

        Ah knock it off. Jesus you sound like people in the '90s mocking “intellisense” in the IDE as somehow making programmers “less real programmers”.

        It’s all needless gatekeeping and purity test BS. Use tools that are useful. Don’t worry if it makes you less of a man.

          It’s not gate keeping it is true. I know devs that say ai tools are useful but all the ones that say it makes them multiples more productive are actually doing negative work because I have to deal with their terrible code they don’t even understand.

            The devs I know use it as a tool and check their work and fully understand the code they’ve produced.

            So your experience vs. mine. I suspect you just work with shitty developers who would be producing shitty work whether they were using AI or not.
