Something worth noting is that the parent comment refers to using Cursor, not ChatGPT/Claude.ai. The latter are general-purpose chat (and, in the case of ChatGPT, agentic) applications.
Cursor is a purpose-built IDE for software development. The Cursor team has put a lot of research and sweat into providing the used LLMs (also from OpenAI/Anthropic) with:
- the right parts of your code
- relevant code/dependency documentation
- and, importantly, the right prompts.
to successfully complete coding tasks. It's an apple and oranges situation.
