Stop Wasting Time: Meet the AI That Fixes Its Own Bugs

Seriously, try Cursor

I’ve been coding using GitHub Copilot for over a year, but after just 30 days with Cursor’s trial at work, I can’t imagine going back.

Here’s why Cursor isn’t just another autocomplete and why you’ll want in on this now.

Disclaimer: I’m not getting paid by the company behind Cursor or anyone else for writing this; I’m just sharing my real-life story using this IDE + AI.

☝🏼 Self-Correcting, Iterative Intelligence

With Cursor, you don’t get a single suggestion and call it a day.

• Auto-feedback loops: It reviews its own edits, spots mistakes in real time, and refines them without extra prompts.

• Error recovery: I watched it catch a misaligned loop in my Java code, fix the off-by-one bug, then rerun tests; all on its own.

That level of “thinking about its thinking” means I spend far less time chasing down trivial bugs and more time building features.

✌🏼 Beyond Language

I was working with a co-worker and he decided to threw Cursor an infrastructure challenge: “Configure Confluent Schema Registry on Kubernetes.” No hand-holding docs, no neat blog posts.

Within seconds, Cursor found out the gaps we had in the configuration, patched the YAML, saving a lot of time and frustration. I can tell you, we’ve invested wasted a lot of time before applying Cursor for that… our fault!

I’ve never seen from any other assistant in such a short cycle.

🤟🏼 Room for IDE Growth

Full disclosure: I live in IntelliJ. Cursor’s built-in VS interface is lean… maybe too much?. I miss:

• Highlighting unused methods

• One-click test runners

• Auto-cleanup of unused imports

• And more

But here’s the trade-off: I’m happily tolerating (so far) a slimmer IDE experience because Cursor’s AI superpowers more than make up for it. And I know those editor gaps will fill in soon… won’t they?

You: Wait! Is it all good in Cursor?

You may ask. Of course not. If you want to know the weaknesses of Cursor I found, or have any other questions about my experience using it, write a reply to this email or send a new one by clicking here 👇🏻

✨Takeaway

If you want an AI that truly iterates on its own work (catching, fixing, and refining without endless prompts), Cursor is already leagues ahead.

Give the trial a spin on a real-world task today and see why it’s becoming the secret weapon in my dev toolkit.
