Why I Charge $27 for Cursor Rules (And Why It's Worth It) Last year, I was shipping a SaaS product with a tight deadline. Three developers, all using Cursor. Every pull request was a mess of inconsistent patterns - one person's AI-generated code used field injection, another's swallowed exceptions silently, and mine was generating 500-line god classes because I hadn't told it not to. I spent an entire weekend writing rules. Not generic "write clean code" rules - specific, framework-aware constraints that made Cursor stop generating garbage. Constructor injection only.
