As someone who somewhat recently wasted 5 hours debugging a "simple" bash script that Cursor shit out which was exploding k8s nodes—nah, I'll pass. I rewrote the script from scratch in 45 minutes after I figured out what was wrong. You do you, but I don't let LLMs near my software.
I’ve had success with Claude, but there’s always a layer of separation. I ask it to do something, read what it produced, and decide if it’s garbage or not. And rewrite or discard as necessary. Though counting by LOC mainly I’ve used it for writing tests.
