@bbatsov You write: »Cursor can scaffold an entire application in an afternoon« — but it can't. It can throw together random existing snippets that look like they might plausibly work, and iterate on them until it compiles and, if it is nothing innovative, might even resemble something you expected too.

Imagine a random PO send you some code with the note »hey, I just made this, can you put it into prod?« — aren't you shuddering? This is just automated script kiddies with even less props.
