It was good until Cursor decided to intoroduce the "auto" model select (which is on ny default and tends to choose the most lobotomized version) to save $. Now it's just ok-mediocer (sp?).

People are taring them a new one on their forums. Hopefully they'll listen. My dumb-ass pre-paid fror the full year (not knowing they were gonna nerf it).

the real problem is well written code and built repositories are extremely rare

the learning process is easy to codify and express, but nobody got time for that in fiat world

they just learn some set of things and frameworks and then you are supposedly competent

when i was young enough to do CS it was reasonably well laid out, but years of commie governments endlessly pandering to banksters has led to the situation where really nobody who hasn't done their own self study or done 3 years of a CS degree can even start to learn how to write code properly.

using a search engine is not cheating, but it's a poor substitute for primary training in the basics of the subject.

only people who barely write scripts think this new shit is worth anything, because they get the gratification of something that sorta works. but then, they don't know how to extend it, and they don't understand what it did, and they just tear it all up and start again, because they are still beginners, and haven't grasped the basics.
