......sure?

This kid doesn't know what he's writing or why, he's just coaxing cursor to vomit up commits and apparently that's their only metric for success.

I work with AI tools and with people who are absolute top tier Cursor users and their shit is always broken. They iterate fast but they absolutely do not fully understand what they're producing. It's great for rolling out flashy UI quickly (apparently the only thing investors care about), then you watch it all go to shit the second you push because every update breaks everything in horrifying ways. It's like watching the early days of enterprise C++/Java where everything was spaghetti, but 100x worse.

I don't think this paradigm of AI is likely to rival a decent human developer, there needs to be a fundamental change in how the models work and how we use them. What were doing now is hoping quantity is somehow going to replace quality.

It's astounding how many lowlifes are using commit counts to measure impact. It's just throwing bisectability out the window and promoting stupid tactics for quick returns.
