Curious: what is your use case for cursor, i.e. what is the problem domain or complexity level (on a scale from boilerplate code to core architecture) that you typically work with? Also what plan are you on and is that enough for your needs?
Hi, we're working with an large typescript codebase and I develop fully fledged features with Cursor which involve non-trivial UI wiring up work. Decent amount of state management using React too.
It's definitely not boilerplate level code - but it also also stops well short of architecture level work. Here's a recent prompt of me trying to implement line-by-line diff generation: https://pastebin.com/WRJpNwqc
When I need to do architectural/design work, I do it in multiple passes, not generating any code, just lots detailed text with tons of feedback/back-and-forth with the model.
I'm on the pro plan but it's not enough for my needs - I run through the quota in 10-15 days. Then, I revert to using Sonnet 3.5 via API key.
