I did this test in 3 h to see how Cursor works.
Without knowing React or Typescript.
Conclusions:
1. Wow
2. Be prepared for tech bros who think that developers won't be needed
3. Excited to see products that make the most of LLMs
4. Fingers crossed for more environmentally conscious technology soon
