I used Cursor (with ChatGPT) for the first time last week to build two web apps and it worked well. Working results first go, then a few hours of tweaking and adding features. These were simple CRUD apps using PHP and SQLite on Apache. I had to clean up the front-end code a bit, but it all worked. I’m not strong on SQL, so it was neat to have all the database code working on the first pass, and helped me keep up the momentum and finish them, instead of getting bogged down and frustrated. Definitely plan to keep using Cursor, and try other AI tools.
