I was confident too, but I didn’t go straight to production. We had a QA environment for a reason.
An LLM doesn’t play it safe. No context. No hesitation. Just 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗳𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲.

We deployed the code to the QA environment… and the fix didn’t work.
So, I bought the beers, rolled up my sleeves, and eventually figured it out.

Yesterday, I was working with Cursor and it made a suggestion that brought this memory right back.

In my case, my ultimate goal was to launch a SaaS, not to learn frontend, so I'm ok with this. However, if you really want to learn a skill, do the hard work yourself instead of asking AI to write the code for you.

Because when Cursor generated a working UI, I was more excited to move on to the next feature instead of reading the hundreds of HTML and CSS lines it wrote. So it's no surprise I am not a better frontend developer, even though I built a responsive app from scratch.
