- Have a way for me to modify the content from Obsidian, and so I had to find a way to parse Obsidian's wiki-links (used @portaljs/remark-wiki-link for that)

- Create a section to show all the communities I've founded / belong to. I called it "Campfires"

- Show backlinks in every content item's page, which represent the connections between the whole content items collection

- Let visitors subscribe to the website RSS feed

- Offer a way to group related items, and I thought about introducing "trails". For example, all the episode I've recorded for Invisible Algorithms belong to the "empowering software engineers" trail

Building this make me feel like Iron Man with Jarvis (I wish, I just used v0 a lot). My idea was to:

- Create a way to show all my notes/essays/videos/podcasts in a single place in a random order, and offer some tools to navigate them. I called it "The Lookout"

2) Generate the scaffolding for new features

When your codebase is modular, it becomes easier for Cursor to understand the patterns its using, and to generate new code that fits that structure.

Careful: if your codebase is messy, Cursor will try to fit the same style, making it even messier.

1) Exploring a new, unfamiliar codebase

When you're working with a codebase you're not familiar with, and you want to edit a feature, you can ask Cursor to find all the files that enable that feature, and describe how they work together.

Then you can ask for some tips on how to edit it.

I know how to use a brush, that doesn't make me an artist.

I think the same will be always true for all the AI tools assisting with coding tasks.

So you're going to be a winner.

Can I bet somewhere?

That explains all the noise of the last days...

I haven't read the report, and I should. But question: did they take in consideration what tools the devs used?

There's a huge difference between copying pasting from the chat, Copilot or Cursor for example.

Maybe we just need less developers in a team, easy as that? Less people, less coordination.

Jason, I'm in a real rush to finish a project and I'm really going fast thanks to Cursor, without sacrificing quality.

Why would I ignore this for the sake of protecting the team from bottlenecks?

Pivoting how? Learning to integrating it in software systems or actually building the behind the scene?

I am my team! :)

I get what you mean though. Let's say there were multiple *me* working as I do in the team (in isolation or pairing/mobbing), why would the help I'm getting from Cursor be less valuable?
