People Who Hype Cursor Usually Lack Technical Skills


title is a bit clickbaity—don’t take it too seriously. What I mean is that we shouldn’t focus too much on the tools we use.

I often use o1 to precisely pinpoint bugs in my code, while other models tend to give incorrect or vague explanations for the same issue, including o3-mini-high and 4o. And when they need generative AI, their first reaction isn’t to open ChatGPT or Gotk3, but to jump into Cursor’s code panel and start chatting. Lastly, I use GoLand for two simple reasons: 1) the arrows clearly show interface implementation relationships; 2) the forward/backward navigation shortcuts are very handy.
