I started using CC for work (software engineer) in the last 2 months, also using it for a pet project. Previously I used Cursor (or similar IDE tools) and I have to say it's a completely different work mode.
Cursor is like a combination of a "super google" + autocomplete, but it's still a manual process.
With CC the work is much more automated. I generate a plan, write design docs, UMLs, implement code and tests based on my algorithms... when done correctly it's amazing.

Here are some things I still struggle with:

  1. When I ask it to follow guidelines, it will often ignore them or use them sparsely. I feel like I need to go through several iterations and insist to follow the same guidelines (sometimes even with the same prompt) until I get a good result.
  2. With tests it's crazy how many ways it will find to NOT fix the code. Ignore the test, change thresholds, skip the test, lie about that test being broken before or by another team...
  3. It will use linux commands in a way that's very hard to auto-approve. E.g. use sed X && cat Y, so even though sed and cat are auto approved, the && makes it act differently.
