Cursor in agent mode + Sonnet 3.7 love nothing better than rewriting half your codebase to fix one small bug in a component.
I've stopped using agent unless its for a POC where I just want to test an assumption. Applying each step takes a bit more time but means less rogue behaviour and better long term results IME.
Reminds me of my old co-worker who rewrote our code to be 10x faster but 100x more unreadable. AI agent code is often the worst of both of those worlds. I'm going to give [0] this guy's strategy a shot.
If you stopped using agent mode, why use Cursor at all and not a simple plugin for VSCode? Or is there something else that Cursor can do, but a VSCode plugin can't?
