Vibe coding is just how we are going to be programming in the future. It’s a new skill to be developed. I think the skill of a PM is increasingly important. You can be a PM with multiple engineers that work nonstop.

Don't outsource your thinking to LLMs.

"Just show up"

Probably the best advice out there for getting anything in life.

Love this:

@distantgradient Don’t they use Google now for search after Bing’s API was announced to be discontinued? Was this with search?

Architecture design and product management is the new hot skill. Anyone with AI can code. Not many can guide multiple AI agents towards business value.

Cursor is all you need

[Alex | Building AI apps @morningcoder]

trying a new setup: putting all of my company docs into markdown files within a git repo. they'll be source controlled and available whenever.

- Service ideas
- Member profiles
- Cultural values

Will use @cursor_ai to reference with ease when making PRDs. Or anything really.

Billion dollar opportunity:
-Programmers get to work with beautiful tools like a Macbook, VSCode/Cursor, and Linear.
-Business people are doomed to ugly-as-f**k tools like Salesforce, Excel, and Quickbooks.
-Business people care about the tools they use, too. Don't you agree?

Had Claude Code Github integration create a share section on my blog on https://t.co/r3erwNdRBj.

It got confused generating for Astro: tried to use astro-icon in a tsx file, but after pointing that out, fixed it well. Awesome!

@garrytan They watched West World too many times

[Alex | Building AI apps @morningcoder]

Generating AstroJS is so much better using Gemini-2.5 Pro compared to Claude 4 Sonnet on Cursor.

[Alex | Building AI apps @morningcoder]

@SawyerMerritt At least he tried. Immense respect.

[Alex | Building AI apps @morningcoder]

@petamber Didn’t know about this one! 🔥

[Alex | Building AI apps @morningcoder]

Bing Search API is being deprecated in August, which I think is quite a big deal.

[Alex | Building AI apps @morningcoder]

@petamber You’re right. Claude’s using Brave; are there others?

[Alex | Building AI apps @morningcoder]

I used to think that my parents were stupid to miss the dot-com boom. Like, how can you not capitalize on such a huge opportunity?
And then I totally missed the iPhone App opportunity pass right in front of my eyes.

Opportunities are like surfing waves; you have to be trying to ride one to ride any that come your way.

It was shocking the first time I saw someone turn down a once in a lifetime opportunity for no good reason, which they often come to regret.

By the 10th time, I realized that all things being equal, seeing and acting on opportunity is what divides middling vs massive success.
