Disagree. Leveraging internal tools like JIRA, Confluence, PagerDuty etc has been a huge boost for productivity.

"I got an alert for X, who can help me" surfaces a bunch of helpful stuff. Not groundbreaking in the sense that I could do the leg work myself, but fantastic from automation point of view.

What scares me is the "YOLO mode" and similar in cursor. It's not practical to review each and every tool execution after the first couple of manual tool executions... Prompt injection is still a thing, whether intentional or accidental. Little Johnny Tables is still around.

It's still early days, the complicated setup with OAuth and or API tokens will be improved imo.

Does fetching data straight to LLM context cause new problems for you?

I imagine a simple Bad Request could derail the convo since it's added to the context?

Fundamental things are keeping me away

Not especially. The flow is natural, if you will.

- Me: "Do this"

- LLM: "Ok, let me try do this.. nope something's off. Let me try another way".

Occasionally, I do have to abandon a run but in general it seems successful.
