Cursor made me a worse programmer, briefly

A small, true opinion about Cursor from someone who uses it daily.

What changed my habit wasn't a new model. It was realizing I'd stopped double-checking, and the one time it mattered, it showed.

If you take one thing: the demo lies, the third try tells the truth.
