> Now after two years look at Cursor, aider, and all the llms powering them, what you can do with a few prompts and iterations.

I don't share this enthusiasm, things are better now because of better integrations and better UX, but the LLM improvements themselves have been incremental lately, with most of the gains from layers around them (e.g. you can easily improve code generation if you add an LSP in the loop / ensure the code actually compiles instead of trusting the output of the LLM blindly).
