The other papers ive seen so far all used toy projects. This paper was the first ive seen that deliberately used realistic projects. I think that part is understated, while the part about the "steep learning curve" has been considerably overstated. Ive watched plenty of good developers with hours of cursor practice, using plenty of relevant context giving clear instructions wasting chunks of 5-10 minutes at a time because 4/5 times claude produced crap that needed to be undone. That story doesnt sell though. Nobody will pay me consulting fees to say it. Hype has more $$$ attached.
