I feel like OP would have been better of not referencing the viral thread about a developer not using any version control and surprised when the AI made changes, I don't think anyone who doesn't understand version control should be using a tool like cursor, there are other SAAS apps that build and deploy apps using AI and for people with the skill demonstrated in the thread, that is what they should be using.

It's like saying rm -rf / should have more safeguards built in. It feels unfair to call out the AI based tools for this.

I actually had cursor on in yolo mode with the github integration on and it's actually pretty good about doing commits and pushes and opening PRs and stuff. Though I would never do that in a repo I cared a lot about. It doesn't always know what branch it's on and makes assumptions all the time about what org it's in, etc...
