My guess is it depends on what you work with. I’ve been impressed by my ability to spin up nice looking websites and landing pages. Yet, I’ve tried to build a game and despite it appearing to work, it eventually has gotten confused about its own codebase and I end up with a ball of spaghetti where requirements of yesterday get lost or broken when adding functionality today. It feels more like I’m chasing my tail, vibe coding as they say, it’s just seems endlessly circular.

My game dev is going to be a hybrid approach going forward. I’ll ask it to create a new project with the desired functionality and see how the solution was proposed and then incorporate that into my main code branch.

I find this easier than the Cursor roll back or being overly cautious with suggested edits. I’m just getting to this realization so tbd if it works well. FYI, I’m good at programming generally but game dev is my Achilles. We’ll see how it it goes.
