Cursor & Claude 'One-shot fallback' Combo Coding
This demo will show how to use Cursor, a VS Code IDE fork with integrated AI features to code data pipelines faster, cover a few use cases where LLM based AI can accelerate development and increase quality for data engineers, discuss some of the limitations and weaknesses of LLMs for coding, and share the "One-shot fallback" technique of dropping back to LLMs to get AI unstuck.
