Yes, yes it is fake but it still captures the zeitgeist of working in a corporate environment.

About 26 miles from the hospital I was born in, or 35 miles from my family’s home at the time. I haven’t gone far, but each move has a been a little bit further.

Who knows, by the time I die maybe I’ll live outside the local metro area!

Or attract people who probably shouldn’t be teaching.

Myself, my wife, her parents, and my parents all use it, though honestly the latter are there for grandkid pictures and I’m confident 100% of their conversations with anyone else are sms/facebook/etc.

If you needed an image to sum up this administration, here it is. The only way it could be more on the nose is if they did it in front of starving people.

I’ve used cursor quite a bit recently in large part because it’s an organization wide push at my employer, so I’ve taken the opportunity to experiment.

My best analogy is that it’s like micro managing a hyper productive junior developer that somehow already “knows” how to do stuff in most languages and frameworks, but also completely lacks common sense, a concept of good practices, or a big picture view of what’s being accomplished. Which means a ton of course correction. I even had it spit out code attempting to hardcode credentials.

I can accomplish some things “faster” with it, but mostly in comparison to my professional reality: I rarely have the contiguous chunks of time I’d need to dedicate to properly ingest and do something entirely new to me. I save a significant amount of the onboarding, but lose a bunch of time navigating to a reasonable solution. Critically that navigation is more “interrupt” tolerant, and I get a lot of interrupts.
