AI coding has accelerated our feature delivery and has transformed how our team builds services
I have been noticing recently that Cursor introduced their own model, which is pretty limited; it is very fast, but it is not smart. They might have to improve that, along with the agent selection methodology. When you select auto, you expect it to use the best agent possible and think of the money savings, but it does not always work as expected, sometimes providing bad code or code that has bugs. I think the auto mode selection can improve. Another concern is the pricing; we have been paying a lot for Cursor recently, which I feel has increased within the last few months, possibly due to our usage going up. We are paying an amount similar to a developer's salary for Cursor now. I believe all the needed improvements are primarily around the auto agent selection mode and pricing. If they could be more transparent about it, that would be appreciated. We only see the bill at the end of the month, and it is often a high amount, so transparency in the pricing would be very helpful for us as developers.

Has increased developer confidence by enabling safe production releases using targeted feature toggles
I wish we were using more targeting in our feature toggles and I wish we were using more feature toggles as well as feature toggle dependencies. Making one feature toggle or one set of feature toggles dependent on another one would allow us to turn them all on or turn them all off at one time. For improvements in LaunchDarkly, managing team members and access to those team members was challenging. We could add team members through Terraform and do it programmatically, and then modify it through the user interface. However, once we started modifying things through the interface, we weren't able to go back to using any configuration programmatically for the team members. It made it challenging to orchestrate team member management. The other aspect I wasn't particularly fond of was when they started adding AI to the interface and deployment interface. It reminded me of old school wizards when installing software and simplified the interface too much, removing some of the engineering control I preferred.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Previously, tasks that would take weeks or months can now be completed within days because of these AI tools."
"Cursor positively impacts my organization by providing great feasibility and better reliability, enabling faster development processes."
"From the development side, it allows us to manage multiple things."
"I appreciate that we can release any feature in production and maintain control over it."
"It has really helped during the series of product lines and faster deployment and faster development."
"These features in my current project have helped my team because they allow us to specifically target users to start turning on functionality, we can monitor the behavior and make sure that it's behaving as expected when the feature toggle is turned on, and then we can increase the usage."
"The best feature LaunchDarkly offers is the capability of having a feature flag that we don't have to build in-house."
"The initial setup is very easy."
"The ability to turn off a flag is crucial when a task is not complete, especially if there is an error in a commit."
"The setup is easy."
 

Cons

"Another concern is the pricing; we have been paying a lot for Cursor recently, which I feel has increased within the last few months, possibly due to our usage going up."
"Sometimes Cursor does get stuck, which should be addressed, though the UI remains very good."
"Fetching information about multiple flags in a single action would be beneficial."
"We need experience to use it, and the initial setup can be difficult. Also, sometimes it has breakdowns."
"Right now, no improvements are needed."
"The feature where one feature flag is dependent on another could be explored more for our usage."
"I have used LaunchDarkly for around two and a half years and I haven't faced any issues with it."
"Managing team members and access to those team members was challenging. We could add team members through Terraform and do it programmatically, and then modify it through the user interface. However, once we started modifying things through the interface, we weren't able to go back to using any configuration programmatically for the team members."
"I strongly believe they need to develop a strategy for handling situations where LaunchDarkly goes down."
"When the system has an excessive number of feature flags, managing them can become cumbersome."
