> Respectfully, you're using it wrong, and you get what you paid for. I used the paid (free trial) version of Cursor to look at Go code. I used the free version of ChatGPT for topics like Rails, Flask, Python, Ansible and various networking things. These are all popular techs. I wouldn't describe either platform as "good" if we're measuring good by going from an idea to a fully working solution with reasonable code. Cursor did a poor job. The code it provided was mega over engineered to the point where most of the code had to be thrown away because it missed the big picture. This was after a lot of very specific prompting and iterations. The code it provided also straight up didn't work without a lot of manual intervention. It also started to modify app code to get tests to pass when in reality the test code was the thing that was broken. Also it kept forgetting things from 10 minutes ago and repeating the same mistakes. For example when 3 of its solutions didn't work, it started to go back and suggest using the first solution that was confirmed to not work (and it even output text explaining why it didn't work just before). I feel really bad for anyone trusting AI to write code when you don't already have a lot of experience so you can keep it in check. So far at best I barely find it helpful for learning the basics of something new or picking out some obscure syntax of a tool you don't well after giving it a link to the tool's docs and source code.
