I think I was using Cursor the wrong way

For the first couple of weeks, I honestly didn't get the Cursor hype.

I'd open it, ask for a function, accept a few suggestions, and move on. It felt useful, but nothing game-changing.

Then I stopped treating it like autocomplete.

Now I usually explain what I'm building, where I'm stuck, or what I want to improve before asking it to write code. The responses are noticeably better, especially when I'm refactoring or trying to understand an unfamiliar part of a codebase.

It's still not something I'd trust blindly I review everything before committing but it's become one of those tools I keep open all day because it helps me stay in flow.

Does anyone else have that moment where the cursor just "clicked"?

Would love to hear what changed for you.
