Cursor on Auto will use Composer a lot, right?, which is much more efficient than frontier models people spend a lot of money on.

Besides that it’s simply reading or writing a lot of code. The only time I spend 1k/mo was when I built a green field 20k Loc service with 2 other people (while also doing antagonistic code reviews etc)(mostly using Opus). So it took $3-5k to build a 20k loc production grade service in a critical domain.

But most of the time I’m not doing that. As they say most engineering isn’t coding.
