@cursor_ai employees came to share their Cursor workflow while building Cursor. When builders == users, product UX is elite. I love @shaoruu's config. Super silly to see on the big auditorium screen 💀 trust it works Paste in Settings > Rules for AI👇 `DO NOT GIVE ME HIGH

Being able to build software is actually so so cool 🚀 On my Japan trip my friend suggested I build a Yen conversion app, so we’ll stop manually calculating prices. I made a quick PWA in an hour while everyone was sleeping the next day. I could have totally downloaded an

The UploadThing design contest was wild. After a LOT of deliberation, I realized I couldn't pick just one winner. So instead there are 5, and I'm gonna go broke over this lmao 3 runner ups, two grand prize winners below

I wish coding was marketed as a way to be creative when I was growing up. I always loved design and I planned on going to art school, but I'm glad I chose CS—it made me love design even more. Programming is a buff to a creative toolset. I spent the past week scraping, parsing
