[this post/thread is about how I feel, I'm not looking for arguments that I'm "wrong", other thoughtful interactions are welcome]
I just saw a demo to my team at work of Cursor, an AI-powered code IDE, by another coworker who has years of industry experience. The demonstration was beyond impressive. His demonstration of adding two new features entirely by prompting in minutes -- that would have taken hours manually -- was astounding.
And I'm profoundly sad.
