While I'm still a skeptic (despite my Cursor usage at work), I still absolutely agree. Careful review has never been 10x more difficult than writing the code, I'm not sure where this comes from. And I've had about the same experience as you.

Also, and know this doesn't matter, but it's so weird to see this downvoted. That's not an "I disagree" button...

Thanks! On HN, it actually is a "disagree" button though; totally cromulent to downvote disagreement here. One of the site's big idiosyncrasies!

    If it is a disagree button, then why is it disabled for new users?

      I think the karma thresholds here are kind of silly given how low they are, but Dan and Tom actually run this place and they know things I don't know about what chaos would be unleashed if we eliminated them.

    Weird, I always read it as more than that due to the karma threshold! The more you know :)
