1. The Autonomous Stack

• IDE: Cursor - The core engine that understands your entire codebase.
• Agent: AutoGPT - Used for running complex debugging loops and infrastructure setup.

Stop writing functions; start writing System Specs. Use Cursor to scaffold entire features while you focus on the data architecture.

3. The 10x Developer is now the 100x Architect
