I remember from last year during one-on-one meeting with my direct manager at work and because the company has implemented the policy of AI use in software development, I told my manager that I tried Cursor for the first time and although the AI model and AI Agent on it made mistakes, the turnaround time for these AI's to fix it with me instructing and guiding them was astonishing.

We were using Intellij IDE with Copilot but no AI Agent that can execute task the way how it was done in Cursor so I asked my manager if we have that option but there was no AI Agent that can be integrated under the company policy except that we use Copilot.

Then my manager also downplayed the possibility that a workflow where humans and AI collaborate and that AI Agents play an important role in the coding cycle. He said it will never happen.

Well, guess what? It's not only happening, it's more effective, more productive, and this is the reality now.

I wonder what that manager is thinking now if he remembers me with the fact that what he downplayed back then is a reality nowadays 😅
