The "aha" moment for me came when I started writing a ticket for a junior engineer to work on. However, to satisfy my own curiosity, I gave the ticket to Cursor, and was able to get 90% of the way there (implementing a small feature based on a Figma design).

As it turns out, a well written ticket makes a pretty good input into an LLM. However, it has the added benefit of having my original thought process well documented, so sometimes I go through the process of writing a ticket / subtask, even if I ended up giving it to an AI tool in the end.
