I’ve worked in IT since the early '90s, and Cursor is honestly one of the most impressive tools I’ve ever used. It has changed the way I write software and has made projects that would have taken months feel achievable in days.
What are you currently working on, if you don’t mind me asking? Besides the NDA stuff, my personal projects are a ton of fun, tend to fan out a little aggresively at first but now focusing only on 3 things per month… One thing im enjoying is on dev3lop.com working on webgl to improve the UX.
Hey, it’s always nice to read something like this. Getting done in days what would normally take months is exactly why we do this.
And since you’ve been in IT since the 90s, you’ve seen a lot of tools, so your feedback means even more. If you run into ideas while you work, what’s missing or what we can improve, drop them here on the forum, we do read that stuff.
Happy coding, and thanks for sharing.
I am wokring on building a rubiks cube solving machine using python. It’s helped tremendously so far. I am 99% done - its that last one percent thats killing me. When the cameras scan the cube it doesn’t detect the correct colors. Anyway to upload pictures here? Anyway that’s a personal project that I am working on. We recently started using Cursor at work and it’s been a HUGE help.
If you are cool with others viewing this code, I highly recommend throwing it on to Github repository and make the repo public. Then come back here and post a link to it.
Also, here’s an example of what I’m talking about; lets say my ETL software needed more visibility but say I don’t want to give away the entire platform. So i release the engine, how it works, and how it processes information so that people can get visibility into my softwares mechanics and lower adoption rates. Maybe I contact my mentor who built Alteryx, but I don’t want him to look to deeply into other areas of my software because it’s no the focus. Maybe I will protect parts of the software, and only share a small thin area. Then i can post a link GitHub - MassiveNoobie/et1s: ET1 · GitHub not just in a text to him but also on a forum like here.
If you’re already familiar with github, just excuse my noise! I often work with a lot of people who have never considered github because it is a worrysome looking software that not a ton of people will stick around, often will rage quit before they get there.
I recommend only sharing the computer vision parts, and how it impacts the product. Then you can keep your entire software private (if that’s important - which it will as you progress - alright hope this helps) by only sharing the complexities on github.
Alright good luck. I will be back on here next week. Head down here in austin texas!
