How AI Boosted My Productivity 10x in Flutter Development with Cursor

As developers, we’re always looking for ways to get more done in less time. In the fast-paced world of software development, anything that can speed up our workflow is a big win. For the past few months I’ve been using Cursor with Claude 3.5-Sonnet for my Flutter development, and I have to say — it’s completely changed the way I work. In fact, I’d estimate that it has increased my productivity by at least 10 times.

1. Faster Code Writing with Smarter Autocompletion

One of the first things I noticed when using Cursor with Claude-3.5-Sonnet was how much faster it helped me write code. Flutter is a great framework, but there’s often a lot of boilerplate code to write, especially for things like widgets, layout building, and state management. With the AI in Cursor, I get auto-completion that’s not just basic syntax. It understands the context of what I’m building, which means the suggestions are super relevant to my project.
For example, if I’m setting up a new page with some dynamic data, Claude-3.5-Sonnet can predict the types of widgets I’m using and even fill in a lot of the code automatically. Instead of constantly consulting documentation or browsing StackOverflow, I’m able to focus on the custom logic and functionality that’s important to my application.
