the author is an employee of Cursor/Anysphere. i think this should've been declared at the start of the article. it's always like this.
For me Cursor is unbeatable in going from 0 to fixing an issue. Claude code is great but the cold start problem of getting all the context first sometimes is annoying. I find cursor is a good choice in combination with other tools.
My 2 cents: cursor could also reproduce bugs leveraging things like playwright and other tools. That closes the loop somewhat.
Would tend do disagree. Debug is arguably the most important skill to have and nurture right now (and that allows you to keep a strong mental model), and LLMs are not yet that good at it
I can have trace and debug-level log lines using any assistant, though. Even works with humans!
Cursor, now thats a name I've not heard in a long time
