I use Cursor, Copilot, sometimes GPT-4 in the chat, and also Hex.tech’s built-in SQL shoggoth.
I would say the combination of all those helps a huge amount, and I think has been key in allowing me to go from pre-junior to junior dev in the last few months. (That is, from not being able to make any site changes without painstaking handholding, to leading and building a lot of the Dialogue matching feature and associated stuff (I also had a lot of help from teammates, but less in a “they need to carry things over the finish line for me”, and more “I’m able to build features of this complexity, and they help out as collaborators”)).
But also, PR review and advise from senior devs on the team has also been key, and much appreciated.
