Also from Canada. I’ve lived here for about 20 years. While I did get my US citizenship a couple years ago I always had people suggest that as well (or things like “you’re so lucky you could just move back!”). It’s incredibly logistically complicated.

there are always more cool little things like this, no matter how long I've been using Python... thanks for sharing!

I’m intrigued and kinda want to try this and also do wonder if it’s already out there. Oh and also - don’t you do illustrations, and would you consider doing it yourself? 😉

I've made important contacts via LinkedIn that led to paid work. So yes it's important that I participate. But yeesh. It's weird over there.

Oh yeah I’m on the other end of the spectrum. I just have a personal site, used Wordpress bc it was easy and I didn’t know how to build a website myself. Now just learning and doing it for fun :-)

That’s funny bc I just switched to a DIY site after years of Wordpress.

I read the first sentence and immediately thought it was an aesthetic like “cottage core”. 😆 The reality was much more insane than what I was picturing but ngl I kinda wish I could also do a deep dive on demon core aesthetic bc I bet it would be wild.

Does cursor know the file/folder structure? That’s another way I may be doing too much hand-holding, I will periodically paste the output if eza —tree into a prompt for context.

Also webstorm’s ai doesn’t have very good codebase/context awareness compared with cursor and so it will suggest things that break kinda frequently even when I’m trying to be careful about my prompts and including things.

Ok that’s interesting! If I don’t have to do that, even better!

I pivoted to webstorm for a while (I love the jetbrains ui’s so much) but there is no agent so I was just really trying to do more of it by hand. But I’m well in a doom loop and ready to go back to cursor now!

basically it is a restaurant week bingo app where users log in via auth0 and can scan a QR code at each restaurant to mark it as visited. (I have a friend who works at a local chamber of commerce so it’s a little project I’m cooking up with her)

I mean I just add a “done” note beside completed steps so it knows where I am if I start a new chat
