@JayChopra_ @stanforcreators @JayHoovy @vitaliidodonov Was debating if I should keep that in there. Glad it reached the right audience. 😂 No lies were told.

[Eric Russell @ericsremote]

Idk how to build in public but here's this.

Also how do I film myself without cringing myself out?

Thx. 😊

Been tangling with Claude more since it's all the hype (and it does for the most part live up to it.)

But spent the last hour working through an issue to no resolve.

Then tossed it back into Cursor with Composer 2.5 and it one shots. S/A @cursor_ai. Y'all still crushing it.

The more I lean on AI, the more surprised I am that these huge companies allegedly only vibe-code.

Idk, advanced autocomplete is the best use of AI if you're doing complex shit for me.

[Eric Russell @ericsremote]

@FarzaTV @heyclicky Super curious on how it reads the screen as you're doing stuff. Is it based on image recognition of your screen, apps you have open, etc?

[Eric Russell @ericsremote]

If you're bootstrapping, pro tip: All of your tools will explode at 10k MAU.

Was so stoked to break that benchmark with Festival Dust, and now I'm just getting spammed with email about billing. 😅

Optimization mode enabled again.

[Eric Russell @ericsremote]

@cursor_ai is this a bug with the new update? Whenever I cmd + L to open chat with code selected, it lags a few seconds, so anything I type in between replaces all the code. Never had this happen before. 🤔

Best use of AI has got to be updating dependencies.. Cause I already don't know what's happening when I upgrade dependencies.. So either way I just cross my fingers. 🤞 But this is faster.

New Artist Pages on Festival Dust! ✨

- See artist genres
- View artist popularity both within festivals and overall
- View upcoming and past festivals for artists

[Eric Russell @ericsremote]

Never thought I'd be optimizing for speed at this point when it comes to AI Code Gen. But @cursor_ai is killing it with their Composer agent.

Unless they're intentionally slowing down other agents to promote Composer 👀 Hehe. But I doubt that tbh.

[Eric Russell @ericsremote]

I hate how good AI is getting at coding (in a good way)

I'm now just a qualified code reviewer.

[Eric Russell @ericsremote]

Ever seen a music festival app where you can generate customizable lock screens of set times? ME EITHER! 🤯

Go peep it on Festival Dust ✨

[Eric Russell @ericsremote]

In the same breath... Please team @posthog let us delete individual events/events from anon spam users! ❤️

Posthog AI helped come up with a workaround though 😊 Not ideal at scale though.

[Eric Russell @ericsremote]

Huge shoutout for @posthog to my 4 followers for developing the best AI I've ever seen in a product.

As someone who uses AI daily but still is quite skeptical, Posthog AI is hands down the best I've seen properly integrated into a product without being intrusive. 🙏

Super hip to be one of those startups allegedly working 18 hours a day..

But I swear some (if not most) of my most used features come from when I have a few brews and come home, throw on a live EDM set, slam a couple more, and just work on 'fun ideas' vs. the top priorities.

[Eric Russell @ericsremote]

Update on my last tweet:

As Cursor was working for a minute and I decided to type that, it broke multiple widgets and had to undo it all anyway. 😭 Ig it's a sign that it's time.

Caveat, have loved Cursor forever so Claude Code's gonna have to do some crazy shit to swap.

[Eric Russell @ericsremote]

Why is Cursor so slow now??

Idk if I misread the update somewhere that slowed it down but haven't seen any performance increase..

First time in the past couple years of using where I feel like it's time to try Claude Code to compare.

[Eric Russell @ericsremote]

ChatGPT finally giving me 'no bullshit' options. 👌
