Think of all the menial stuff you must perform regardless of experience level. E.g. you change the return type of a function and now you have to unpack the results slightly differently. Traditional automated tools fail at this. But if you show some examples to Cursor, it quickly catches on to the pattern and start autocompleting semi-automatically (semi because you still have to put the cursor to the right place but then you can tab, tab, tab…).
- gorjusborg 2y agoDon't misunderstand. I am not making an assertion that GenAI tools for development are useless. I am just pointing out that the thread parent started his logical climb at a step one that is incorrect: 'Most programming is trivial'. Given that they got it wrong on step one, how good do you thing step ten is?
