Been using copilot for a while and just made the switch to cursor, it's pretty sweet but the hype around it is crazy. I did notice that the tab complete were a bit higher quality but it was not leaps beyond what copilot were suggesting. Maybe I have to dig into the other features to get into the hype.
More than the individual tab completions, I've found that when working on a feature across many files, when I open the next file half the time I can just press tab a few times (and no other keys) to make all the edits I wanted in that file in a matter of seconds. That's what continues to blow my mind every time.
We built our own benchmarks [1] to test against. It's a set of repos with breaking changes commit that we run bumpgen on the previous commit to then compare the results.
We are clocking in around 50% success rate in this benchmark.
Profiles in Courage by JFK (probably ghost written)
I go back to the section on Daniel Webster and the compromise of 1850 a lot. It always stuck with me how much courage it took to advocate for compromise and peace rather than head into a civil war.
I have a gitlab CI job to update my demo .gif's every time I update my application; always ensures that things are up-to-date and provides gif/video recording that I've ran specific commands (perfect for auditors!)
Good new is most strongly typed languages work well with our current architecture. Bad news is Rust is not currently on the roadmap but that I can see that changing depending on how popular this demand is.
