@poteto @erikras @cursor_ai @poteto I feel like the biggest issue cursor is facing is that people still see it as VSCode with an agent tacked on instead of being a full fledged agent management environment.

[ryan anklam @bittersweetryan]

@erikras @cursor_ai I haven’t used cursor as an IDE ever since the agents window came out. Editors are fading away while agent management windows are the future. CLIs will also slowly fade away too as managing multiple agents in multiple projects across multiple devices at once will be the new norm.

[ryan anklam @bittersweetryan]

If you think of @cursor_ai as an IDE with agents built in I think you’re missing the point. It’s actually an AME, agent management environment, with coding tools built in.

If you don’t use soap when you wash your hands you aren’t doing anything but giving the parasites a drink.

[ryan anklam @bittersweetryan]

Using a default AI voice is like using the default editor theme. Personalizing your LLM’s tone should be one of the first things you do when opening cursor, claude or whatever agentic coding tool you prefer.

I just turned 48. I eat burgers and wings and love a cold beer. I only had adjustable weights, a bench, and a pull up bar. I skip workouts when I’m busy or tired, but I am consistent. I rarely miss two workouts in a row. You don’t need a fancy diet or full gym to stay in shape.

I keep trying to move to one of these cool new terminal emulators like warp or ghostty but keep coming back to iTerm. It's the only one that does everything I want with no weird behaviors.

Traded in my Tesla MS for a Sierra Denali EV. I love this thing!

@burgessdryan Love Hard, Four Christmases, Holidate, Dash and Lily (does it count if it’s a series?)

@JemYoung @burgessdryan Talk to me when you make the top 10 🤣

[ryan anklam @bittersweetryan]

@burgessdryan @ryandotfurrer @jennifer_tieu That’s because it’s one of the best names!

Broke out the bomb pop for tonight’s #USMNT match!

I'll just change this simple type for this one variable in this one file..four hours later...

@odesza I think I deserve something special for being in the 99.9th percentile!

[ryan anklam @bittersweetryan]

I still haven’t learned my lesson…every time I’ve ordered an @Uber premiere car I’ve been very disappointed.

[ryan anklam @bittersweetryan]

🌶️ opinion. Fireworks are extremely overrated.

[ryan anklam @bittersweetryan]

@odesza in Santa Barbara last night was absolutely amazing!

Decided to try @PlayApex again while in quarantine and it took about 20 mins to realize why I stopped.
