I am using Cursor pro version which will provide me claude cli which is more helpfull for me in lot of areas for build application it mostly takes my manual work and setup all the required things
I need to know i which perspective cursor will help me in improve my predoectivity as developer.
People are literally doing high level calculus at this very moment to figure out how to answer your question. The reason no one can, more or less, is a communication strategy. I only use cursor when I can’t handle something locally now. Granted, still I use it a lot, and the only benefit is that you get hounded by the UI less, making for a less confusing experience.
I’m not sure about productivity, but Cursor Pro will definitely:
- Forge you into a
git
grandmaster. You’ll learn to make small, atomic commits every 90 seconds, because you know every save is a potential life raft and the AI’s next “helpful refactor” could be the iceberg. - Perfect your commit messages. You will master the art of writing beautifully detailed notes to distinguish between commits like
"feat: AI generated a function that solves cold fusion"
and the immediate follow-up,"revert: CONTAIN THE DEMON FROM THE PREVIOUS COMMIT."
- Hone your detective skills. You’ll become an expert at hunting for bugs in code that uses libraries and functions the AI confidently hallucinated into existence three seconds ago.
- Elevate your coding standards. It will solve your simple problem with a solution so academically brilliant and unmaintainable that your senior devs will gather around your screen to weep.
- Make you a master of scope management. You’ll ask it to fix a typo and it will return a full architectural refactor, teaching you that no task is ever truly a one-line change.
When it comes down to it, the real productivity gain from Cursor is how it fundamentally changes your role as a developer. It handles the manual, time-consuming tasks, freeing you up to focus on the bigger picture. (By which I mean the new, fascinating bugs the AI just introduced…).
Think of all the repetitive setup code, cleaning up messy parts of the project, or just building the basic skeleton for a new feature. By handling those tasks, it elevates your job from being the one who types everything out to the one who directs the work. You’re the architect; it’s the incredibly fast construction crew.
It’s also great for getting up to speed. When you’re in a new codebase, you can just ask for examples or patterns right there in the editor instead of digging through docs.
But again, you have to know what you’re doing and can’t trust it blindly. If you rely on it for things you don’t understand, you’ll spend more time fixing its “clever” mistakes than you would have spent just writing the code yourself. It’s a tool to multiply your own skill, not replace it.
More models, less requests.
Having both with Pro 2x$20 is maybe a good compromise.
