At work I mostly use claude code and chatgpt web for general queries, but cursor is probably the most popular in our company. I don’t think we are "cooked" but it definitely changes how development will be done. I think the process of coming up with solutions will still be there but implementation is much faster now.

My observations:

1. What works for me is the usual, work iteratively on a plan then implement and review. The more constraints I put into the plan the better.

2. The biggest problem for me is LLM assuming something wrong and then having to steer it back or redoing the plan.

3. Exploring and onboarding to new codebases is much faster.

4. I don’t see the 10x speedup but I do see that now I can discard and prototype ideas quickly. For example I don’t spend 20-30 minutes writing something just to revert it if I don’t like how it looks or works.

5. Mental exhaustion when working on multiple different projects/agent sessions is real, so I tend to only have one. Having to constantly switch mental model of a problem is much more draining than the “old” way of working on a single problem. Basically the more I give in into vibing the harder it is to review and understand.
