None of my experiences with cursor lately would ever give me confidence for letting it do a task that took long enough for it to be backgrounded.

Caught Claude 4.5 via Cursor yesterday trying to set a password to “password” on an outward facing EC2 service.



Curious what your case was for using Claude to set passwords on EC2 instances. Terraform, CDK, something else?


Writing a launch template for an instance that needed a desktop environment for automated benchmarking and VNC for debugging.
