I recently started using Cursor for all my typescript/react personal projects and the increase in productivity has been staggering. Not only has it helped me execute way faster, similar to the OP I also find that it prevents me from getting sidetracked by premature abstraction/optimization/refactoring.
I recently went from an idea for a casual word game (aka wordle) to a fully polished product in about 2h, which would have taking me 4 or 5 times that if I hadn’t used Cursor. I estimate that 90% of the time was spent thinking about the product, directing the AI, and testing and about 10% of the time actually coding.
