Same!

I’m basically a sysadmin with limited programming language skills other than pretty good with ansible/chef and can just usually figure stuff out, but not a coder or SRE-level by any means.

Even the cursor/Claude free plan combo is incredibly impressive, and if you are patient and provide good and reasonable prompts, I’ve been incredibly happy, even astounded with what I’ve been able to accomplish so far with a Python Flask web app I’ve been working on. I feel like that given my current Python skill-level (quite low), it would have taken me a few weeks (at the very least), to accomplish what I’ve done in one day with my Flask side project on the Cursor/Claude free plan. It’s kind of mind-blowing actually.

I'm still learning about all the different tools and hadn't heard of Cursor. Thanks for sharing!
I had watched this video before I started with Cursor— good basic overview for the features and how you can take advantage of them
