If you're from the age of spinning disks in hard drives, do you ever mistakenly hear the nostalgia of a whirring disk when your PC is doing something intensive? It's like that phantom phone buzzing, but for nerds.

I’ve been developing with Copilot and Cursor 20+ hours/week for an entire year now and have realized it’s not that AI is stupid, humans are just lazy and think it can pull shit out of thin air with zero context.
AI isn’t a mind reader. Treat it like a colleague.

Wow. I've been using Cursor daily for the past six months, most recently loving its agent. I ran out of usages in my tier and decided to try GitHub Copilot. Copilot is a toddler compared to Cursor.

If you're using Invoke-WebRequest to download files with #PowerShell, try Start-BitsTransfer instead. You'll thank me later when you notice the speed difference.

Need to ignore files from being pushed a remote Git repo and not want to modify .gitignore. Use the .git/info/exclude file. I wanted to exclude some stuff but not modify the remote repo's .gitignore and this works great. #git

New use for AI: As a consultant, I work with many types of people; some that incur major communication breakdown when the client isn't communicating what they need well enough for me to understand. The solution? Build a "Communications Specialist" with background convo to be your client translator!
