Hey there,

For years, coding meant one thing:
humans think, humans type, machines execute.

That flow is starting to change.

A growing number of developers are adopting what’s now casually called “vibe coding”, a way of building software where you guide the intent and logic, while AI handles much of the typing. Cursor is one of the tools making this workflow practical.

This isn’t about replacing developers.
It’s about changing where human effort is spent.

What People Think Vibe Coding Is (and Why That’s Wrong)

At first glance, vibe coding sounds like:

“Just tell the AI what you want and let it write the code.”

That approach fails quickly.

Blindly accepting AI-generated code leads to bugs, poor structure, and systems you don’t fully understand. Cursor doesn’t magically fix that. What it does is shorten the loop between thinking and implementation.

Vibe coding works only when the human stays firmly in charge of decisions.

What Cursor Actually Is?

Cursor is an AI-powered code editor built on top of VS Code.
It looks and feels familiar, but adds AI deeply into the editing experience.

Key things Cursor does well:

• Lets you edit code using natural language

• Explains unfamiliar code inside your project

• Refactors or generates code within context

• Keeps you inside the editor instead of switching to chat windows

Under the hood, Cursor can work with large language models such as GPT-4 and Claude, depending on configuration and availability. The important part isn’t the model, it’s how tightly the AI is integrated into the coding workflow.

How Vibe Coding Works in Practice?

A typical vibe coding loop with Cursor looks like this:

1. You describe what you want to change

2. Cursor suggests code directly in your files

3. You review, tweak, or reject it

4. You repeat in small, controlled steps

You’re no longer focused on syntax from scratch.
You’re focused on direction, constraints, and correctness.

Think of Cursor less as a code generator and more as:

Where Cursor Shines?

Vibe coding with Cursor works especially well for:

• Prototyping new features

• Refactoring existing code

• Understanding unfamiliar codebases

• Writing repetitive or boilerplate logic

It’s most effective when the problem is well-scoped and the developer knows what “good” looks like.

Where Vibe Coding Breaks Down?

This approach has limits.

Cursor (and similar tools) struggles when:

• Requirements are vague or constantly shifting

• The system architecture isn’t clear

• You stop reviewing outputs critically

If you don’t understand the code being generated, vibe coding quickly turns into vibe debugging, and that costs more time than it saves.

The Real Shift Vibe Coding Represents

The biggest change here isn’t speed.

It’s where developers apply judgment.

• Humans focus on intent, trade-offs, and structure

• AI handles the mechanical translation into code

This is less about automation and more about rebalancing effort.

Typing is cheap.
Thinking is still the bottleneck.

The Projects Feature!

Now you can manage multiple clients or content themes effortlessly. Each project comes with its own context, set tone, style, or background once and forget repeating it. Keep chats organized, collaborate with teammates in real time, and even share projects across your workspace.
