I've been using #Cursor a bunch over the last week, toying with the agent AI. I've had some mixed results with both Claude 3.5, and 3.7. As you'd expect, ensuring you provide solid requirements is paramount.

Despite being swamped at work, I can't shake the urge to hack on a project idea I've been mulling over. So, I think I'll hop on the #buildinpublic bandwagon to motivate myself to actually build it!
