I used Cursor and Opus 4.5. What made it faster for me was symlinking in a few on-going projects that I've been working on which gave Cursor a reference for how I set things up in these projects.

I also have this method for helping Cursor see the realtime output of services I'm running while developing locally which really speeds things up: https://foundinglean.substack.com/p/the-best-improvement-ive...

This substack is pretty new for me, but I'm planning on sharing more things there which may (or may not) help others. Next article there will just be sharing the symlinking setup (not rocket science - but some people don't know ln -s exists).

So is this app essentially written by an LLM, not by you?

Poster literally says in the comment you replied to that they used other code they had to speed the development, so no it doesn't appear they wrote it entirely with an LLM, not that would matter if they did as long as it did what it was suppose to do (and what it was suppose to do isn't being defined by a gatekeeper).

Coding agents might get there someday, but today they still need quite a bit of assistance.

What appeared as a good faith question, was answered in good faith and of course was later revealed to be a "gotcha" question. It's all so tiring.

They already said they used AI, why ask again? These sorts of comments are unnecessary even when there might be a lack of transparency, which isn't the case here at all.
