@YodasMyDad The first time it did it, it just said “I am going to open this with a Cursor session” or something like that.

If you are at #CAMX2026 over the next two days, feel free to say hello to my colleague Micah and I, we’d love to talk to you about how we can improve your web presence and be your software development partners for custom advanced software.

@DylanLeClair Still a long term HODLer, still very in the red… hoping long term the share price will recover along with Bitcoin’s price :)

@cb_doge @Starlink @united probably should reword this sentence as it looks like it’s missing the word “offensive“.

@flowstated If you can somehow figure out how to inspect nested web components, that would be awesome. For a site completely built with WebComponents (at least the last time I tried) it doesn’t let you select anything except the top level component.

[Chris Houston @readingdancer]

@ericzakariasson I’d love to use the design mode more, but it really doesn’t work if you are building an application using web components, it only allows you to select the outer component, if you can fix that, it would be super helpful.

@ericzakariasson How about supporting DevOps repositories? I loved using cloud agents / slack, but my new employer uses DevOps, and it doesn’t seem like this is now possible, unless I missed something?

[Chris Houston @readingdancer]

@ericzakariasson How about automatic hints how to reduce cost / prompt more efficiently? Also the Teams edition could really do with the ability to report on which repo is being worked on, seems that is only available to Enterprise, but it would be useful for smaller teams too.

When I started Vizioz, the goal was simple. Build good websites, do quality work, and work with technology we genuinely enjoyed. Over time, Umbraco became a big part of that journey.

I’m really proud to say that Vizioz has been recognised as a Gold Contributing Partner 2025.

Contributing has never been about ticking a box for us. It has come from real project experience. Fixing things that could be better. Improving documentation when we hit rough edges. Sending pull requests because clean code matters and because someone else should have an easier time next time around.

The Umbraco community has always stood out to me. It is open, supportive, and full of people who care about making the platform better together. Being recognised by that community means a lot.

A huge thank you to everyone at Umbraco and to the developers who review contributions and keep pushing the platform forward. And of course to the team around me who take pride in doing things properly.

Feeling very grateful today.

@ericzakariasson @bruvimtired We are using the Teams plan and seem to be racking up big bills if we use agents too much. E.g. in January my usage was over $1200 … it is making me look for alternatives to Cursor, which I don’t really want to do!

[Chris Houston @readingdancer]

@ericzakariasson @bruvimtired So hypothetically, approximately what would it cost to run a long running agent for 24hrs?

[Chris Houston @readingdancer]

@YodasMyDad This is one of the many reasons I like @cursor_ai because you can use all these models within one application, and easily mix and match depending on what you are working on.

The Walk for Peace has been finished, we saw them walking through our local town on their way to DC. #TikTok https://t.co/0OtoGuwDBg

[Chris Houston @readingdancer]

@davidfowl At what cost though, I think this is going to create another divide between those who can afford it and those who can’t. What we need is local models that are as good as opus or sonnet, they just need to excel at coding, they don’t need to know about general knowledge etc.
