Spent $510 on cursor in the last 30d – AMA

was it worth it? yes. will I keep using cursor? perhaps, but will definitely be checking other options.
I did got enough value for the money, but I feel it could've been cheaper
I stopped thinking very deeply about problems, idk if this is the right way to put it (like, now I just think of where to place my smartbulb and how to pair it with my phone, not how to manufacture it). I know this is not seen as good, but still the price-to-value is worth it, but instead I think of them more broadly. I can fly through the possibility space much faster. I do hope to try claude code, i.e. closer to the metal, just have to find the time to figure out the vscode integrations, what's the ".cursorrules" analogue (if any) etc.
I started consuming more content (reading, watching), replying emails, posting on x/hn/reddit while the it generates my code. I also have more motivation to wear the product-guy hat and get mentally closer to my future user
