    Effective Project Planning With Cursor Offset By Pricing Changes and Context Drift Issues

    4.0
    Apr 1, 2026
    Cursor has completely changed how I approach my work. Honestly, I'm not sure I could keep up with my current projects without it. I've used it to build out a full Detection-as-Code framework and to get far more value out of our SIEM, particularly around SOAR and automation. The planning mode has been especially useful for breaking complex projects into clear, time-bound phases. It's helped me stay on track while also allowing Cursor to reason through and support genuinely complex tasks alongside me.

Cursor Likes & Dislikes

Like

I love how Cursor can use different AI models dependent on the tasks, I use Opus for complex tasks that require good reasoning (more on this in the dislikes!) and composer for everyday tasks. It's a nice system once you understand what model is good at what tasks. I also like how Cursor fits into my engineering workflow. It doesn't feel like a gimmicky chat bot that's been bolted on, it can understand context across files and helps me move faster without losing control of what's happening. Another big win is how good Cursor is at working through problems with me instead of just giving me answers. I can have it challenge me or help me refine my ideas to improve the quality of what I deliver, not just how fast I can deliver.
