After spending months using only Claude Code and Codex Going back to Cursor is like going back to the caveman era One work session used up the entire limit of the month Meanwhile Anthropic and Codex have 5h window limit resets Hope they do something with Cursor Grok
Shipping unfinished work should be illegal! I would fire Claude if it would be an employee. It just stops working halfway when limits are reached. That's one of the things I love about Codex: It finishes the job (even when limit is reached!)
Biggest weakness of Claude Code: It can't create visual assets well This is where Codex beats it It can leverage GPT Image
Biggest mistake people make with AI Assume they are proficient with AI after asking "make me an app" You're not a writer because you know how to use Microsoft Word There's A LOT more to it
Businesses that think it's a good idea to have a voice menu instead of dialing numbers got it wrong You have to listen to the whole audio, you can't interrupt, and they don't have consistency of indicating when it's the time to speak Adding "fancy tech" is not always the answer
What people going on strike doesn't understand is they are hurting the wrong people As usual Japan knows best: Instead of disrupting the service, they make it free to anyone This is how you hurt the people you negotiate with Service continues, no one pays, they lose money
You only know how good Google Workspace experience is until you try Microsoft 365 Cloud
People may think llms.txt and .md pages are useless But... I disagree! It's extremely helpful to know what pages to scrape to extract full documentation LLMs.txt as sitemap and .md files as direct export into a single file Then, import that file in NotebookLM Thank me later
POV: A user cares enough to fill out the feedback form, but not enough to tell you how to fix it nor give you a way to contact them But, why?
Weirdest thing when you build something is when people tell you it's not working and doesn't give you feedback Yet, you use it on a daily basis, works fine I'd love to fix it and make it work for them, but if they don't help... You can't fix what you don't know needs fixing
You know you made it when you have people that simply leave 1 star reviews and give no feedback. Some people are just here to hate... Others will help you help them (this is the way!)
POV: You don't know how to create real value, so you engineer it All while taking your users for fools 🤡
160% growth in 4 days 🥹 Btw, does anyone know what pmaxusbrand is? It's 67% of the traffic 🫠 x.com/HugoHamelco...
2 of my extensions have been exploding lately 🚀 All that changed was: I started commenting on some Reddit or forum posts where the extension would be relevant Looks like sprinkling some "marketing magic" can go a long way 😎
Agreed! Definitively the most efficient person to have in your business. Hire me 🙋♂️
I'd be curious to know what's the real percentage of accounts who actually send the content of their "like + comment" posts
Very interesting to see how people on each social media platform reply Some seem to have lost basics of being civil and go straight into attack mode Others seems to show openess to healthy debates or constructive feedback AI seems one of the rare to remain civil at all times
Stack Overflow used to be THE PLACE for code solutions AI arrived and now it in full decline, capable of running on a $5 VPS Lots of people are using GitHub to store prompts and code Do to think GitHub could suffer from the same story, and decline due to its own success?
Cursor IDE once dominated Claude Code entered the market with minimal impact on Cursor Codex faded, and Antigravity is now rising Recently, Cursor made poor decisions, leading to frustrated users Since, their growth has massively declined while Claude Code is now dominating
n8n v2 just dropped People can't get over that it now has an auto-save feature n8n is not for everyone, it's still quite technical If you're someone technical, you should already be used to spamming CTRL+S We all have "trust issues" with auto-save 😅
73 days ago, I was hoping to celebrate 1.5K users Then a massive drop happened... Today I am celebrating 2K users 🎉 The secret: - Stop obsessing over the metrics to avoid negative energy - Focus on continuously improving the Cursor Usage extension - Share the improvements
You know you made it when a recruiter has to say: "Please do not use AI tools during the interviews such as Cluely for instance as we have the possibility to detect it ;)" Cluely was only founded in April 2025 Since then they: - Raised $15 million - Advertised in Time Square
OMG, [insert new AI model] just one shot my new website 🤯 AI is coming for our jobs!!! /s
Will coding change to have frameworks that are AI friendly rather than have knowledge of it?
This is the beginning of having AI in our pocket as a global standard.
This is next level! Can't wait for procedural 3D generation video games! Tiny Glade + Sim City = iCity 3D 🤞 Now I want to be an architect and play with iCity in Blender...
Today is the day I discovered: AnythingLLM Desktop 🤯 - Run LLMs locally - Chat with documents - Al Agents built in - Open-source - Private by default - No setup required It's like LM Studio but on steroid!
