In 2025, as a staff software engineer, I have been reevaluating my software development process, learning new programming languages, and embracing software assistants as crucial tools. While these assistants can sometimes provide misleading information, they have become an indispensable part of my workflow. After a HackerNews comment sparked my interest, I used Cursor/Windsurfer to convert a Rust library to Haskell, resulting in a groundbreaking moment of creating something entirely new. The video demonstration showcases the innovative capabilities of these cutting-edge tools. With the software industry evolving rapidly, engineers who fail to adopt software assistants risk falling behind in the competitive landscape.
