📜 How I Use Cursor
I need to get something off my chest. Before my interview
@cursor_ai, I had never actually used Cursor.
At Meta, Claude Code was explosively taking off. I even paid for a personal $200 a month plan for my side projects. I loved how simple it was, and how quickly I could feel productive. The sticking point for me was in developing my own set of skills that turned cc into almost anything I wanted. I even started developing my own agent orchestrator tool on top of it.
During my onsite interview, I used Cursor over the course of 2 days, using it to build the interview project. This was before Cursor 3's release, so I was using the Editor Window. I've been using vscode for so many years at this point that most of the keyboard shortcuts were still in my context window, so getting back on the IDE was not too difficult. I can't lie though. During the first hour or two I was certainly missing the cli. Clicking on things felt almost barbaric. But there were a few things that really stood out to me.
First, the models I was used to at the time - Opus and Codex - felt smarter, somehow. And it was amazing being able to switch models on the fly and use both of them at the same time on different parts of my project (Opus for the frontend, Codex for systems). Prior to my interview, I was already raving about multi-model adversarial review, so being able to do this natively in the UI felt very natural. Even better was the ability to spawn subagents of different models, so I could get the best of both worlds in one conversation.
Second, compaction was insanely quick. As a cc user I was used to compacting taking many minutes, and so I was always in a state of constant vigilance of my context and plan usage. So I was utterly shocked at ho
