Explore a comprehensive 15-minute video evaluation comparing Cursor Composer's latest 1.5 version against its predecessor to determine if the upgrade delivers meaningful improvements. Test both versions using a "Production-Ready Note App" prompt to assess speed, UI design quality, and agentic AI capabilities in real-world development scenarios. Examine how each version handles SQLite integration and post-install scripts, then conduct a thorough functional walkthrough of the generated applications. Perform a critical security audit using Snyk extension to identify potential vulnerabilities in AI-generated code, including XSS attacks and resource allocation issues. Investigate mysterious hallucinations like the Csurf 2.0 dependency and analyze whether the newer version's code is actually safer for production deployment. Discover why version 1.5's user interface appears less polished than 1.0 despite being newer, and learn practical techniques for evaluating AI coding tools' security implications in professional development environments.
