aw yeah; recently I spent half a day pulling my hair debugging some cursor-generated frontend code just to find out the issue was buried in some... obscure experimental CSS properties which broke a default button behavior across all major browsers (not even making this up).
Velocity goes up because you produce _so much code so quickly_, most of which seems to be working; managers are happy, developers are happy, people picking up the slack - not so much.
I obviously use LLMs to some extent during daily work, but going full-on blind mode on autopilot gotta crash the ship at some point.
