Play with Cursor or Claude Code a bit and then make a decision. I am not on the this is going to replace Devs boat, but this has changed the way I code and approach things.

This morning I made this while sipping coffee, and it solves a real problem for my gf: https://github.com/kirubakaran/xmldiffer Sure it's not enormous, and it was built from scratch, but imho it's not a trivial thing either. It would've taken me at least a day or two of full time work, and I certainly don't have a couple of days to spare on a task like this. Instead, pair programming with AI made it into a fun relaxing activity.
I am happy to read your success story with LLM and thanks for sharing.
Fully agreed, that LLMs/assisted coding is nice for these kind of contained tasks.
Could you perhaps point me to a youtube video which demonstrates an experienced prompter sculpting code with Cursor/Clause Code?
In my search I just found trivial examples.
My critic so far:
- Examples seem always to be creating a simple application from scratch
- Examples always use super common things (like create a blog / simple website for CRUD)
What I would love to see (see elsewhere): Adding a non trivial feature to a bigger code base. Just a youtube video/demonstration. I don't care about language/framework etc. ...
