I've been doing front-end development for somewhere around 20 years now. During that time, I've watched the job change over and over again. New frameworks. New languages. New tooling. New ways of building and deploying software. But I don't think I've ever had to adapt as quickly as I have over the last few years. And lately I've found myself asking a strange question:
AI has made me faster. A lot faster. But recently, I caught myself doing something that made me wonder whether that speed is coming at a cost.
I've been a front-end developer for more than 20 years now. For the last decade or so, most of my work has centered around Angular. I've spent a huge part of my career learning how to write better code, debug faster, understand architecture, recognize patterns, and generally become a more capable developer.
You ever use AI to generate Angular code that's almost right, but not quite? You end up renaming things, swapping decorators for signals, and rewriting *ngIf to @if every single time. Well, in this post, I'll show you how to use Cursor Skills to encode those fixes once and automate your Angular workflow for the whole team.
AI-powered code editors are transforming how developers work, and Cursor is leading the charge. Built on VS Code, Cursor brings intelligent code suggestions, automated error detection, and powerful AI assistance directly into your Angular workflow. In this tutorial, I'll show you real examples of how I use Cursor in my Angular projects, from refactoring components to generating tests. You'll see why it's become essential to my development process.
