However, recently there are more and more people talking about Cursor in my feed, so I decided to give it a try. It offers a free trial and can be purchased if you want to upgrade to the pro version.

I use it to add new form fields to existing pages, and transfer all the form fields to URL params so that I can share the URL with others.

This simple task is done so quickly and accurately by AI. My job is to tell the AI what I want, and it will generate the code.

We need to catch up the latest AI tools and learn how to use them. The evolution of AI is changing so fast. There are new tools emerging every day like the latest Copilot, some say it is already a strong competitor of Cursor.

Focus on complex problems like Performance Optimization, Architecture Design and so on. The AI tools only understand a few pages of code. They fail if there are several systems to interact with.

Stop memorizing APIs or syntax. I heard a story before: a company employed a new team and found those developers were really efficient. Later, the company discovered those developers had worked on military projects before, where there was no access to the internet, so they had to memorize all the APIs. Those days are gone.
