Creating implementation plans in cursor prior to implementing new features with the Agent is game changer. It works so well!!

Reminder: You don’t need to be the best developer to build something useful. Just solve one real problem

i just created a quick tool to generate faceless short video content based on a caption and some media (image/gif) Feel free to use it (yes, it is free) 👇

A finished MVP is better than a perfect draft sitting in your repo for 6 months

The best product ideas don’t sound revolutionary. They sound obvious in hindsight

Every time I explain my project to someone non-technical, I find the real value of what I’m building

There’s power in building ugly prototypes. You can’t iterate on an idea that doesn’t exist yet

We chase clean code, but real magic happens when messy code still works under pressure

The most dangerous phrase in side projects: 'I’ll just add this one more thing...'

Building is addictive. You fix one bug and suddenly it’s 2AM and you’re redesigning the entire feature

Most of my best features started as 'temporary hacks' I never removed

Sometimes the biggest productivity boost is just closing the 27 tabs you swore you needed

You don’t need a full launch to validate an idea. Just show it to a friend and watch their reaction

The best feedback often comes from people who aren’t even in tech. Simplicity wins

Every time I simplify a feature, something improves. UX, performance, or just my sanity

The more I code, the more I appreciate boring, reliable tech

Since enabling usage-based pricing (4 cents per request) on cursor I am seeing more and more of this in replies instead of actually making the changes which forces me to spend two requests for one change... Is cursor doing this on purpose to profit with more requests? 🤔

The beauty of building in public isn’t about showing off. It’s about sharing the messy middle that no one talks about!!

There’s something beautiful about tiny tools that just do one thing really well

Most side projects die not from failure, but from overthinking. Ship it, then iterate

I know AI is very cool... But not every tool needs AI. Sometimes a simple script solves more problems than a full-blown model

The best tech feels like magic, but it’s just a ton of invisible decisions done right

Programming isn’t just writing code... It’s a constant process of asking yourself 'why doesn’t (or why does) this work?'

just woke up with a sore throat

Your quick side project does not need to be the best at anything. Just get it out there and make it a little better every day

I built a micro-SaaS to monitor all my client projects It emails me error tracebacks with AI-generated fixes Now I’m reaching out to clients before they even report bugs! Game-changer ⚡

Some of the best solutions come from the smallest inconveniences. Every side project I have so far came from personal problems while building other stuff!

Reminder: Every 'overnight success' had thousands of quiet progress updates behind it

We talk a lot about building... but noticing what *not* to build is just as important

I told Cursor its approach didn’t make much sense… 🤨 I’m not sure if I find this funny …or if I should take this as a threat 🤖⚔️

Appreciation post for simple UIs that just make sense. Minimalist design is underrated

Programming is wild. You just find yourself spending 2 hours solving problems that didn’t exist yesterday... 🔧 So frustrating, but so rewarding once you figure it out

The more I build, the more I realize: simple is hard. But simple always wins

FINALLY!! All of the major features I planned to make available on this initial Bluesky Copilot's phase have been developed and are now available to everyone!! The price is going up soon đź‘€

Let's be honest... Does anyone actually read the Cursor's response on the chat or you just review the code right away?

Two new features are coming to Bluesky Copilot !! Soon you will be able to manage draft posts and browse through winning post templates to get some inspiration for your next posts!
