I'd go this direction as long as it had a real keyboard... Maybe it's time for the blackberry to reemerge.

I cannot figure out what people are doing to spend all this money. I have used a $60 per month Cursor plan on auto, and have never come close to using up my included usage, and I probably have it planning and coding and working for me all t

I’m a devils advocate on this argument. Yes, a big company can take it away, but I think they have to leave it online long enough to get your money’s worth. So if I have a game for a year I paid $70 for, that’s fair, if it goes away, I hope

The problem with “code quality” and LLM’s taking over your first 3 “pillars” is basically that LLM’s don’t care. I recently had Cursor evaluate a huge code base that we took over. All public stuff, nothing scary security wise, but it was so

Day 1. I remember firing up gpt and asking for some code. It was simple JavaScript to solve a problem and I knew immediately, this was the beginning of the end for software development as we knew it. I built an app I struggled to create for

You can ask AI to comment an entire code base now in as much detail as you need.

Yes, constantly. I don’t know what I do differently, but I can get Cursor to do exactly what I want all the time. Maybe it’s because it takes more time and effort, and I don’t connect to GitHub or actual databases, nor do I allow it to run

For personal projects: Used ai to create my own mind mapping tool for private use. I also created a private cursor-like / loveable-like tool that I can use for my own vibe code prototyping on the go with my phone.

When it comes to games I absolutely don’t care what they used AI for because the point of games is to be fun. If it’s fun and you used AI, that’s fine with me. The game served its purpose. The line for me is copyright on images. If you use

Adobe Animate is still just Flash from a tool-standoint. Are you referring to the SWF file format?

I feel like I can't really have fun and be myself when I see people shooting video all around me. I like to be silly with my kids and close friends, I like to act out around the people who find me fun or funny. But the rest of the wor

My favorite example, and the ones I show my team and my employer, is that I can have AI look at a string of fields for my database table and generate all the views for the display, add, and edit forms for those fields in exactly the way I i

I have a $20/month GPT subscription, and the $20/month cursor plan. I've yet to come close to going over my limits with either service. I use the unlimited Tab completions in cursor which are what end up saving me an enormou

This article is just simply not true for most people who have figured out how to use AI properly when coding. Since switching to Cursor, my coding speed and efficiency has probably increased 10x conservatively. When I'm using it to co

This is really interesting, got it up and running very quickly. I'm not sure what the use case is and it doesn't auto-load chromium with its own web server from what I can tell. Is it just for creating javascript CLI utilities?

I’ve been doing this a looooooong time. And that’s really about it. Every time a popup or tooltip covers code around my cursor I groan in agony. I’d probably use it if the tool tips just updated in the bottom right of my screen while I ty

Good list. Creating your own desktop environment is an incredible “hello world” into serious and more advanced JavaScript development.

For me, it has now been 2.5 years since having watched any local, national or cable news. The stuff is poison. I also deleted Facebook around the same time to stay away from it through 3rd parties. It is true that it has made me happier. I

I have lived by these words for many years: “Every time I’m wrong, I learn something new.” I repeat this to myself. I look for reasons to be wrong. Everything I think I know how to do well, I assume someone has a better way of doing it, and

I wonder how many coders have done exactly this in the last couple of weeks? Using the api to cater the chatgpt system to our liking. I’ve done the same and it’s changing the game for me. Saving hours of time jumping through that small part

2 weeks ago I created a prototype in SwiftUI to present at work this week and I was going to use my phone. An hour before the meeting I decided to open it and do one last run-through to refamiliarize myself with it. I got the same notice. H
