I'm a heavy Cursor user (not yet on Claude) and I see a big disconnect between my own experience and posts like this.

* After a long vibe-coding session, I have to spend an inordinate amount of time cleaning up what Cursor generated. Any given page of code will be just fine on its own, but the overall design (unless I'm extremely specific in what I tell Cursor to do) will invariably be a mess of scattered control, grafted-on logic, and just overall poor design. This is despite me using Plan mode extensively, and instructing it to not create duplicate code, etc.

* I keep seeing metrics of 10s and 100s of thousands of LOC (sometimes even millions), without the authors ever recognizing that a gigantic LOC is probably indicative of terrible heisenbuggy code. I'd find it much more convincing if this post said it generated a 3K SQLite implementation, and not 19K.

Wondering if I'm just lagging in my prompting skills or what. To be clear, I'm very bullish on AI coding, but I do feel people are getting just a bit ahead of themselves in how they report success.
