… You are Cursor! They are rules for you!" So much of what Cursor does that shits me to tears is stuff where, if it were an actual junior dev, I'd sit them down and walk through it with them - precisely the process that evolves them to Gyarados, like you say. That lack of meaningful development on the machine's behalf is so frustrating and really kind of alienating - you do meet devs like that, the ones that stubbornly refuse to learn and do better, and they are some of the worst people in the world.
