我在“自主编码”方面起步较早。以下是我的故事。

我没有采用 AI 编码工具,不是因为它们更快或更酷。刚开始用的时候,它们用起来简直是折磨。<p>我仍然拥有无限量代币的 Cursor 计划。它将于五月到期,之后 Cursor 将迫使我们这些老用户转到新计划,在那里你必须为代币付费。所以去年五月我买了年计划,但在此之前,我每月支付了几个月。我开始使用它是在 2024 年 10 月。<p>我采用它们是因为我失去了打字的能力。<p>在此之前,在 2024 年初,我对 AI 编码很感兴趣——听说了(可能是假的)人们构建生产应用程序并获得收入的故事,我偶尔会用 ChatGPT 来清理一个函数,但我从未认真对待过它。<p>我下载了 Cursor,试用了一次,然后就放弃了。当让它做一件简单的事情时,它就卡住了。<p>然后,两个月后,我每天都在使用 Cursor。这种变化发生在一夜之间。<p>这一切始于我的右手开始疼痛。我以为自己得了腕管综合征。<p>然后我的左手也开始疼了。<p>疼痛加剧。我打电话给妈妈,问我是否得过水痘,想知道是否可能是带状疱疹。我一直在不停地搜索症状。<p>然后虚弱开始了。起初很微妙,手变得笨拙,灵活性降低。我的手臂开始难以抬起。<p>又过了几天,我再也打不开前门了。<p>我正在慢慢地瘫痪。我去了急诊室,被诊断为格林-巴利综合征。(发音为 GHEE-YAWN-BAR-"eh?")<p>谢天谢地,我最终的病情较轻。他们在医院住了一周后就让我回家了。尽管如此,我花了几个月的时间才恢复了手部的灵活性和打字能力。<p>那时和我一起工作的人可能还记得我突然增加了语音笔记、语音转文本的使用,以及大量的拼写错误。<p>在编码方面,我一夜之间从 VSCode 切换到了 Cursor。<p>而且我都是通过语音转文本来完成的。<p>我忍受了这些错误。<p>我经常拒绝它生成的代码。<p>我变得更擅长提示和组织我的想法。<p>我变得更擅长口述和发音,这样语音转文本就不会误解我了。<p>这是我唯一的选择。<p>我花了 6 个月的时间才能够再次“正常”打字,但我可能永远无法恢复以前的速度和准确性。<p>我今天仍然使用 Cursor。现在,我将更频繁地编写代码,但 Cursor 仍然是我的主要 IDE,而且我仍然比直接编写代码更频繁地使用提示。<p>从那以后,我使用了 Claudecode 和其他工具,但我仍然最喜欢 Cursor。我不知道当我的无限代币用完时,我会感觉如何。:)<p>总之,这就是我的故事。欢迎随时提问。

I did not adopt AI coding tools because they were faster or cooler. When I started, it was a chore to use them.<p>I still have the cursor unlimited plan that gives me unlimited tokens. It expires in May after which Cursor is forcing all of us legacy users onto the new plans where you do have to pay for tokens. So May of last year is when I got my yearly plan, but before that I was paying monthly for a couple of months. It was October 2024 when I started.<p>I adopted them because I lost the ability to type.<p>Before all of this, in early 2024, I was curious about AI coding- hearing (probably fake) stories about people building production apps and getting revenue, and I used chatGPT here and there to clean up a function for me, but I never took it seriously.<p>I downloaded Cursor, tried it once, and abandoned it. It tripped over itself when I asked it to do a simple thing.<p>Then, two months later, I was using Cursor every day. A change that happened overnight.<p>It started when my right hand started hurting. I thought I had carpal tunnel.<p>Then my left hand started hurting too.<p>The pain got worse. I called my mom asking if I ever had chicken pox, wondering if it could be shingles. I was Googling symptoms nonstop.<p>Then the weakness started. At first it was subtle, clumsier hands, lower dexterity. My arms were starting to be difficult to lift.<p>A few more days passed and I could not open my front door anymore.<p>I was slowly becoming paralyzed. I went to the ER and I was diagnosed with Guillane-Barre Syndrome. (pronounced GHEE-YAWN-BAR-&quot;eh?&quot;)<p>Thankfully, I ended up with a mild case. They let me go home after a week in the hospital. Still, it took months to recover the dexterity in my hands, and the ability to type.<p>People I work with from that time probably remember my sudden increase in voice notes, speech-to-text, and lots of typos.<p>When it came to coding, I switched from VSCode to Cursor <i>overnight.</i><p>And I was doing it all through voice-to-text.<p>I tolerated the mistakes.<p>I rejected code it generated very often.<p>I got much better at prompting and organizing my thoughts.<p>I got better at dictating and enunciating so that speech-to-text would stop misunderstanding me.<p>It was my only option.<p>It took 6 months to be able to type &quot;normally&quot; again but I will likely never regain my previous speed and accuracy.<p>I still use Cursor today. Now, I will write code more often, but Cursor is still my primary IDE, and I still prompt more than code directly.<p>I&#x27;ve since used Claudecode and other tools, but I still like Cursor the best. I wonder how I will feel when when my unlimited tokens are gone. :)<p>Anyway, that&#x27;s my story. Feel free to ask me anything.
