In all seriousness, I'm trying out @convex.dev as a real-time database + API. It's a really nice experience and great to work with.
Super easy to pick up by someone who spends the majority of their time on the clients side.

I’ve been experimenting with Cursor Background Agents for a new project.
Biggest takeaways: start with clear repo rules, write prompts that force planning & checks, run agents one-at-a-time early.
Background agents give me ~50% of a feature. More in the article.

Enhancing Software Engineering Workflow with Cursor Background Agents
Over the past few weeks, I’ve been experimenting with AI—especially Cursor Background Agents—to support my engineering work in a new web application we’re building. Below are some observations and tips that have helped me get better results. Rules On...

I'm the same when trying to lean on creating production code with AI. 🤐

...during ongoing development.
Overall, it just sits in the background and does the work. Today I wired up a fairly complex feature (interactive image previewer with markers) pretty much using agent calls only, which is pretty impressive.

A few observations 👀
It's very well balanced when switching between thinking and non-thinking mode. It seems to always be planning steps before jumping into the implementation, which is great.
One weird thing is that it likes to clean up unused code heavily which is not something I always want...
