The author reports using the Cursor IDE to automate routine coding tasks, including generating Django templates, views, and URLs. The tool allows for refactoring, code review, and function generation, which the author claims significantly accelerates development processes compared to manual coding and searching for solutions on Stack Overflow.
The developer utilized Cursor to build several AI-based projects. One tool automates competitor analysis for marketers by parsing website data, anonymizing it to comply with 152-FZ regulations, and processing it via LLMs like DeepSeek to generate marketing offers. Another project in development aims to provide trading signals by matching news and stock quotes with historical market data.
Additionally, the author created a statistics analyzer for the Author.Today platform. The service uses a parser to collect book data into a database, enabling the generation of custom statistical reports. The developer notes that while AI handles MVP creation and routine tasks efficiently, manual verification, security testing, and code reviews remain essential.
The author concludes that the role of a developer is shifting from writing code to system architecture, testing, and quality control. The transition effectively turns the programmer into an analyst, focusing on high-level design rather than manual implementation.
