For a long time, I used Cursor Pro to upload new articles.
It was careful, reliable, and always ready to help.
Cursor became a trusted partner for me.
But because it does so much, the cost of using it began to add up.
I started to wonder:
“Do I really need Cursor for my everyday article updates?”
Cursor Pro has played an important role in building the Sato Farms website and developing our direct sales system.
These are important projects that may shape the future of the farm.
For such important work, Cursor is a very useful tool.
In farming, I would compare it to a heavy machine.
You need a heavy machine for big jobs.
But you do not need one for pulling weeds every day.
You use the right tool for the right job.
So, from now on, I will use free VS Code for my everyday article updates.
It is light, simple, and easy to use.
In farming, I would compare it to a hoe that fits well in my hand.
This article is the first one written and uploaded with this new way of working.
There is an old saying:
“Seek, and you shall find.”
I also believe that when we take action, a way will open.
Working with AI is much like farming.
We try something.
Sometimes it works, and sometimes it does not.
Then we make changes and try again.
That is how we find the way that works best for us.
From now on, I also plan to build some simple automation with Python.
I want to create batch programs that can take care of small, repeated tasks.
I plan to ask Claude to help design these systems.
Cursor will be my heavy machine.
VS Code will be my hoe.
Claude will be my architect.
Each tool has its own strength.
The important thing is to use each one in the right place.
In this way, the digital systems I have slowly built between farm work can take another small step forward.
AI is not magic.
It is a tool.
It is also a partner, and sometimes, a teacher.
If we use it in the wrong way, it can become a burden.
But if we use it well, it can become a powerful helper.
Today, I feel that I have reached a small but important turning point in the digital work of Sato Farms.
Tomorrow, I will step into the fields again.
I will feel the soil under my boots, and in the quiet moments between farm work, I will return to the keyboard.
Little by little, I will continue to improve the systems that support the farm.
The work in the fields and the work on the computer will continue side by side.
Two different kinds of work, growing together with Sato Farms.
And I believe this journey will continue, one small step at a time.
