Yup. I've spoken about this on here before. I was a Cursor user for a few months. Whatever efficiency gains I "achieved" were instantly erased in review, as we uncovered all the subtle and not-so-subtle bugs it produced.
Went back to vanilla VSCode and still use copilot but only when I prompt it to do something specific (scaffold a test, write a migration with these columns, etc).
Cursor's tab complete feels like magic at first, but the shine wore off for me.
- manmal 1y agoWhat kind of guardrails did you give the agent? Like following SOLID, linting, 100% code coverage, templates, architectural documents before implementing, architectural rules, DRY cleanup cycles, code review guidelines (incl strict rules around consistency), review by another LLM etc?
- breckenedge 1y agoNot the OP, but in my experience LLMs are still not quite there on guardrails. They might be for 25-50% of sessions, but it’ll vary wildly.
- manmal 1y agoDepends on the LLM, recent Gemini models are quite good in this regard.
