Cursor Doesn't Make You a Developer. Here's What It Actually Does.

Six months ago I paid $240 for Cursor, an AI code editor. Two months in, I broke my own website so bad it was down for two weeks. I ran out of credits, couldn't fix it, and walked away thinking AI coding was a lie. Then I came back. And now I'm building multiple apps, automations, and tools with it every day. This is my honest 6-month daily-use review. What I love, what drives me crazy, and whether I'm renewing.
