Sorry but you can't convince me to use Cursor. Even if I gotten a paid subscription as a gift or something. I already have an AI VSCode fork with: - better UX. - better agentic workflow. - only costs $10/month. - and it's 🏄‍♂️

Looks like now it's a good time to get back on the building hype train. Especially with Bolt's hackathon starting in a few days. Let's see if I can dust off one of my projects/ideas and push it all the way to the finish line! 🏁

Most of the times when we get "pushed" or lets just say *extrinsically motivated*, we do stuff we wouldn't have otherwise. For example, I'm now building a web app for a gamified recruitment process. Not cuz I want a job. But cuz the "building" part is kinda fun and is part of the whole game.

I woke up on a Sunday with only 4 hours of sleep for a particularly more active day than usual. Was going here and there, doing field work and also inside writing my weekly post. By 6 pm I was spent. Took a 90 minute nap, made some dinner, and now I feel like in a new day. Such a weird insomnia

I realized subscription for coding tools don't work for me. I might have a few days when can spend some time using them. And then other days I have to work on my other stuff... Or have no time for work at all.

Today instead of resting... I took a chunk of time to dust off my coding skills and make this...

Using AI to code for you ❌ Using AI to help you revive old projects ✅ I got the not-so-crazy idea while making dinner (of all things). What if I go back through my GitHub history and see what projects can have a 2nd chance with an AI partner that helps collate the context/knowledge to power them

One of the cool things of having your own project template in whatever tech stack is your favorite... You can spin up new projects pretty fast without relying on AI to generate boilerplate code (and failing at it). Today I had the idea of creating my own content system and had a nice start with it

THE COLD, HARD REALITY. Folk on the internet, trolls, keyboard warriors, want you to fail. Why? Because you doing something, holds a mirror up, revealing THEIR lack of effort.

Finally! Someone articulated my disdain for "vibe coding" in a much better way I would. tl;dr: Your skills are like a muscle, if you don't use them.... You lose them. Also, awesome quote from @dhh at the end. lucianonooijen.com/blog/why-i-s...

In retrospect I can say I saved a LOT of time. Not going the "customize your Neovim config" route as an alternative to not use Cursor when it went "viral". AI coding editors are getting better and better by the week. Plus... I don't even code that much either way.

Haven't had a good excuse to dive again into some Python for AI stuff. Last time I did was last July around the release of FastHTML. I might do a learning challenge to get hands on experience with PyTorch.
