I’m curious to hear honest opinions from people who are actually building with Cursor / Claude / AI coding tools. A bit of context: I studied Systems Engineering for about 1.5 years, then switched into Data Science / AI Engineering for another 1.5 years. But the truth is, I’ve never been the type of person who loves programming for the sake of programming. I understand concepts, product, business, users, data, etc… but I wouldn’t call myself a strong developer. Recently I gave Cursor another real shot, and it kind of changed my perspective. I’ve been able to build landing pages, connect forms to CRMs, create basic client-facing tools, do data analysis for clients, and move way faster than I expected. Now I’m testing a bigger challenge: building a functional web app, not necessarily to make money immediately, but to test real user interaction and validate an idea. So my question is: What are the real limits of Cursor today? Not the hype version. Not the “AI will replace all developers tomorrow” version. I mean the practical reality. Can someone who is not a strong programmer actually build successful apps, platforms, tools, or MVPs with Cursor if they learn how to use it properly? And maybe even more importantly: Is there a right and wrong way to vibe code? Because I’m noticing something dangerous: I sometimes trust Cursor blindly to advise me on Cursor, architecture, bugs, code quality, deployment, security, and everything else. But I’m not always experienced enough to know when it’s wrong. For people who are ahead of me on this: What are your best tips for using Cursor properly? Where does it break down? What should a non-technical or semi-technical founder learn first to avoid building garbage? How do you structure prompts, files, documentation, planning, debugging, and reviews? And at what point do you still need a real senior developer involved? I’m genuinely trying to understand the difference between “vibe coding a cool demo” and “building something that can actually survive real users.”
