I've been giving a serious attempt at using Cursor in a C++ code base. I might still be using it wrong, but I've only managed to get it to write code that compiles and is also actually useful, once every 20 attempts or less. When it does succeed, it's limited to very narrow tasks, never large enough to offset the time wasted by commanding and helping the AI do the work. So as of today, the more I use Cursor, the bigger the productivity loss (and frustration), very far from the advertised claims. I haven't tried other competitor products though, but I'd expect the same unless there's some model out there trained through reinforcement learning instead of basic pattern memorization? Regardless I'll keep trying though because I really want the super-powers; live is short and I have lots of ideas to try. Or is my experience an outlier, and are other C++ developers actually successful with these tools?
