I love Cursor because I hated the constant googling api docs and stack overflow to figure out proper usage of esoteric things I rarely touch and don't care to know more about. AI is great at being an auto-complete for those things in small chunks.
But it's still completely retarded if not micro-managed, you still have to know how to go about solving your problem and architecting the solution. You then review everything to make sure its done that way and no wrong assumptions were made by the auto-complete.
With all the vibe coding hype I should start taking screenshots of the stupidity so non-devs realize you can't push this stuff blindly. Some dude on twitter was just griping about his keys getting leaked and a bunch of other issues from exposing a vibe-coded CRUD app to the internet... fortunately I think most people get stuck and give up before getting that far.
Just last week I working with middleware and out of he blue it made the token verification client side. If you don't know what that means, or wouldn't have caught it yourself in the diff, you should assume vibe coding is just for play only and can't produce anything more useful than a landing page or simple script from scratch.
