My teams work on a mobile app with 20+million lines and tens of thousands non generated lines being added every day. That is not an exaggeration. Cursor has no idea what to even do at that scale.

But even if cursor could understand the app, my other team works on the build pipelines which is another several million LOC projects that are interacting with dozens of services and used by several teams.

Maybe in a few years but currently it is completely untenable for LLM’s to work on these codebases in any meaningful way. And these are not unique, I’ve worked at many fortune 20 companies where the key product is 10 of millions of LOC of mess.

Even for personal projects cursor wrongly edits simple things like the wrong config.yaml, as it is in a different directory. I like it but it has major gaps.
