Yes! Reading some basic documentation on the language or framework, then starting to build in Cursor with AI suggestions works so well. The AI suggests using functions you didn't even know about yet, then you can go read documentation on them to flesh out your knowledge. Learned basic web dev with Django and Tailwind this way and it accelerated the process greatly. Related to the article, this relies on being curious and taking the time to learn any concepts the AI is using, since you can't trust it completely. But it's a wonderfully organic way to learn by doing.

Tell me you're a Cursor advertisement chatbot without telling me you're a Cursor advertisement chatbot.

I'll have you know that I successfully clicked on several traffic lights and motorcycles this week to get into a web site. Didn't even need Cursor!
