Developer Feedback: Does Cursor AI Tool Make Coding Faster? (Part 2)

Image
Can Cursor AI tool really change the way developers work; without sacrificing product quality? In Part 1 , Dash Technologies posed this question by doing an experiment comparing and contrasting using the Cursor AI and manual coding in building a secure notetaking and task manager app. The task tested both approaches on complex features like user authentication, note management, and responsive design. Today, we're pulling back the curtain and sharing the unfiltered perspectives from both developers about their experiences with AI in product development. Why does developer feedback matter so much? Because all the performance metrics in the world won't tell you whether software development AI tools can actually integrate into real development workflows. It's about understanding the human factor: the cognitive burden, the learning curve, the trust factor, & the creative process that ensues when developers embrace or reject such productivity tools. These results are g...

Startup MVP Development Guide 2025: From Concept to Market

Image
Creating a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) is a key step for any startup. MVP development represents an initial product version creation that includes just enough essential features that enable early adopters to use it while providing feedback for future development. Startups can test business assumptions and confirm market demand while reducing risks prior to investing major resources through this strategic approach. MVP development plays a crucial role in startup success because 90% of startups fail, and 34% of those failures result from poor product-market fit . The systematic development of MVPs enables startups to enhance success rates through better resource management and faster market entry. What is MVP Development? The development of MVP is a product development approach that aims to produce a leaner variant of your product with only a few necessary features required to address the core issue for your target market. An MVP is not a fully developed product with all its featu...

AI Software Development vs Human Software Development: The Experiment

Image
  Can AI software development tools make developers and the whole development process faster without sacrificing product quality? It's the million-dollar question that's been polarizing the tech community. We've all heard the hype; AI is the future, AI is hype, AI will replace developers, AI can't be creative. The noise is endless, but at Dash Technologies , we decided to cut through the chatter and put these claims to the test the impact of AI on software development . We designed a controlled experiment that would give us real, measurable data. Two developers, one task, two completely different approaches: Traditional manual coding versus AI software development using Cursor , an AI-powered code editor designed with developer context in mind. Why? To once and for all settle the question of whether AI product development actually speeds up the development process without compromising the quality our clients rely on. The outcome? You might say they were really ey...
