I use ChatGPT for help with writing things, like speeches and presentations. I make an outline document for context, attach that to my GPT session and make a solid prompt.
I just started using Cursor for making Rails features and it’s pretty slick. I started with just the chat mode and it was nice to get some solid recommendations on creating styles. I’m mainly a backend developer so asking the agent (using Claude v4) things has actually helped increase my front end knowledge. I’ve moved over to agent mode now that I’m more comfortable and I can get certain features done in much less time. It’s not perfect but it’s like coding with a robot friend.
Still a lot to learn in this space but I’m starting to see some of the productivity benefits for sure.
