On: How I write code using Cursor

[kccqzy]

This is actually how I would use AI: if I forgot how to do a conversion task, I would ask AI to tell me the command so that I can run it without rejiggering my memory first. The pandoc command is literally one line with a few flags; it's easily reviewable. Then I run pandoc myself. Same thing with the multitude of other rarely used but extremely useful tools such as jq.

In other words, I want AI to help me with invoking other tools to do a job rather than doing the job itself. This nicely sidesteps all the trust issues I have.

I do that constantly. jq's syntax is especially opaque to me. "I've got some JSON formatted like <this>. Give me a jq command that does <that>.

Google, but better.
