The authenticity test: actually use Cursor
Put this idea into your own words. "Expect interviewers to listen for whether you actually use Cursor."
Step 1 of 2
Expect interviewers to listen for whether you actually use Cursor. The product is built for professional programmers, and someone who has really used it describes friction and specific moments, while someone who only prepped lists features.
Generic UXR answers do not survive this read. You would be researching technical, expert users, and credibility with them starts with being one. Use Cursor for real work for weeks before the interview, until your opinions are your own.
Opening Cursor the night before is hard to bluff past. Start early: use it daily on a codebase or project you care about until you have lived friction, then form a hypothesis about one of those frictions you would actually want to study.
