Sales engineer and indie hacker. Currently building MCP tools and writing about what breaks. TypeScript, Nuxt.js, serverless.

[Viktor Lövgren @viktor_lovgren]

Tried to solve my time constraints with an over-engineered AI automation. Now I have a digital twin who handles my demos, drinks my (digital) coffee, and has zero respect for the source code.

A fine line between a productivity hack and hostile takeover. 🧵

@cormachayden_ Hahah.. Def not me at the airport a couple days ago..

[Gerard @gerarddome]

AI shows up and suddenly everyone wants to rebuild core tools in-house.

Meanwhile Anthropic runs on Zuora, Stripe, Workday, NetSuite, Salesforce and hires people to connect them.

The leverage comes from adding intelligence on top of proven systems.

He started getting a bit too comfortable with the brand. There’s a fine line between a helpful agent and imposter 🧵

Apparently, he thinks I'm just legacy code now.

@GrindChronicles @mscode07 Cool. Amazon scraping or do they offer API access for lookups?

[Viktor Lövgren @viktor_lovgren]

@GrindChronicles @mscode07 Looks nice! What do you use as source for book data? OpenLibrary?

I built something similar a couple years ago, but before AI-assisted workflows so I reckon I could refactor/improve quite a lot if I get a weekend :)

@mscode07 Just a Sunday project from yesterday:
https://t.co/LoPNknNRRL

Stage 1 scans for tells (em dashes, throat-clearing, hype verbs) tuned for English prose. Stage 2 adds a two-sentence roast, generated on the server in English.

Ouch...

I used the increased weekend quota of @cursor_ai in the new Agent Window to build a tool that hates AI writing. The irony is delicious.

Em Dash Patrol: https://t.co/FzWj8nika7

MVP in 1 hour. 2 hours fighting Cloudflare Turnstile 🤪

Try it out!

[Viktor Lövgren @viktor_lovgren]

Built Em Dash Patrol, paste any draft and it flags classic “AI slop” tells (em dashes, throat-clearing, jargon), then Gemini gives a blunt editorial roast. Nuxt on Vercel.

Mostly as an excuse to take @cursor_ai new Agent Window for a spin with double Composer 2 quota over the weekend.

[Viktor Lövgren @viktor_lovgren]

And theeeere goes the Claude allowance for this Sunday 😄 Lollygagging its way towards the Pro limit. Switching to Composer 2 for now.

@cursor_ai offers double quota this weekend in their new Agents Window (not sure if only applies to tasks initiated from Agent window or also in terminals/side bar @amanrsanger @mntruell ?). Let's see what it can do.

[Viktor Lövgren @viktor_lovgren]

@cschmatzler How does it feel? Like the good old days?

[Viktor Lövgren @viktor_lovgren]

The paralysis-by-analysis with all the opportunities is real! I like the idea of just carving out that time and going for a tool. 20 mins sounds like way too little though. Wiring a new tool into a proj, test it, iterate. That's 2 hours gone, easily. At least for me.

Today I'm trying Langfuse, as I haven't implemented any observability in my MCP projs up until now.

[Viktor Lövgren @viktor_lovgren]

The AI dev paralysis-by-analysis is real... Should I finally build one of those 30 side projects I've got listed from the past few years, now that it's possible to realize them over a weekend, or re-factor the projects I built sloppily before AI?

https://t.co/ImlOWynwJz and https://t.co/pl6bD31oUa are both screaming for AI-assisted iterative improvements. They were built before AI tools and in little time (weekends and evenings).

Forks in the road, everywhere...

[Viktor Lövgren @viktor_lovgren]

Anyone tried /ultrareview in Claude yet?

[Viktor Lövgren @viktor_lovgren]

@dejanvasic85 @zazmic_inc @thdxr Yes. More possibilities to curate. But will give dictating a shot coming days.
