I feel like thousands of people are getting run around in circles by cursor and AI suggested code. I am only confident using it because i spent my entire school and half my career not using tools like that. even with stuff that it’s good at like JS/TS it still causing me headaches if im not laser-focused with prompts

I only use it for some scripting, and goddam. Anything more than a one-liner is apt to mean an hour of failed iterations followed by giving up.

I straight up deleted co-pilot and switched to VSCodium because I started realizing that it would start to give me a solution that seemed right, but would cause issues later.

Sure, I program a lot slower without multiline auto complete, but at least I'm thinking about every line I write and can get 2 lines in and realize that what I'm doing is gonna be an issue.
