There's a lot of options for models these days. I've been using Claude 3.7 but I'm curious what's been working well for others. What model are you using and why?
Is the thinking version of @Claude by Anthropic worth the extra credit spend? Does @DeepSeek work well enough to save some credits? Is it worth trying any of the @ChatGPT by OpenAI models?
ICYMI: @levelsio shipped a flight simulator game last week. It's pretty fun, it's got some low poly / minecraft-esque graphics, pretty good physics, a turbo boost, and even PvP. The kicker is he built it, at least the version one anyway entirely by prompting @Cursor.
It got me thinking about a question that a ton of people have tried to answer in the past few years; What does the future look like for someone getting into development?
I think developers will still be highly sought after for any startup or company but I can imagine teams becoming smaller, and the workload becoming more efficient with things like bug tickets, pull requests, code reviews becoming a lot more automated.
To be honest, I find Cursor’s VS Code experience quite uncomfortable. However, the fact that it runs seamlessly within my codebase is what keeps me from abandoning it.
That said, if Copilot were to offer the same level of integration, I don’t think I’d continue using Cursor. Copilot is gradually catching up with the features Cursor provides, and it works within IntelliJ, which is a big advantage for me.
Are there any other major strengths of Cursor that I might be overlooking?
What’s the biggest reason you love Cursor more than anything else?
