Cmon - cursor has been out for like 3.5 years at this point. AI was still in its infancy but it was definitely able to complete tasks, albeit smaller ones.

Not disputing the overall trajectory, yeah it’s gotten better. But it was definitely capable of more than just command completion 3 years ago.

I reach for it more frequently. But personally, it’s at the point of diminishing returns for my work. It’s capable enough now to handle most of the things I want to throw at it, sometimes it’s wrong, sometimes it’s right.

I’m not doing cutting edge deep tech work - and I also don’t have the motivation (or salary increase) to be 15X more productive, if that’s even measurable. We are so busy because the CEO hears these “15X” statements and then the pressure is on to match or exceed that, and I’m not playing that game.
