The 'bleeding-edge' of Software Engineering nowadays is:

Use Cursor for business rules and things that are a bit more complex and you need to be engaged, iterating by talking with AI.

Claude Code or agents for work that can be completely delegated.

Using Copilot and pasting is a very outdated way of working. I'm sure with the method above you would be working at least 2x output in the worst case scenario (when you need to iterate a lot using Cursor).

Of course, a good amount of time now is spent reviewing code, doing requirements and other things that are very time consuming, which the AI currently sucks at doing.

I've tried many code review bots but they are mostly useless, but I bet this will be the next thing that AI will greatly improve. It's almost usable now.
