This is a fantastic piece, informed and informative. Highly recommend for anyone trying to get the max results out of coding with Cursor (or later) AI agents.

Thanks to OP for posting.

I really like the comments on the prompt engineering from the cursor crew. Any chance for a blog article "convert the AI code tool into your best peer-programming buddy"? E.g. I added to mine to be sarcastic in both interpretation and answers, resilient against swearing (do not apologize) and add subtile elements of reference to star trek and other nerdy scifi stuff.

Honestly, that did not make the code in any way better or me more productive but getting a prompt like "Wetware seems tired and overlooked some rookie mistakes, let me fix this for you..." makes me so much more enjoying the system.

Great piece - FYI there’s a typo in the tagline: “Turning LLMs into coding experts and how to take advantage <of?> them.”

The voiceover is very different from the article.
