@github if you want me to fill out a questionnaire, don't make personal details like my employer's company name mandatory. It's not relevant for you, I promise.
It is behind a tiny pay gate just to make the effort worth it on my end too but I am sure that it will save you enough time on day 1 to warrant the minimal price tag.
Let me know what you think
I've been deep in learning how to use AI tools properly and in the process I've made an instruction set that gives you an Agent (for Cursor or otherwise) that's a Senior Software Engineer - in a box.

I've been watching my Cursor do a lot of TDD and generally have a decent attitude towards tasks.
I will continue sending everyone updates as I find new ways to improve on it.
How do people store and organise test mobile devices?
Surely there is some sort of a gadget like the charger in this pic that doesn't only charge but acts as a hub.

If my posts are starting to feel a little unhinged, it's because this industry has made me unhinged:
I'm frustrated from wasting hours watching ci/cd builds fail and just "run it from failed" because my runner decided to have an aneurysm and I can't reproduce the error.
I'm tired of needing to learn yet another new thing that achieves the exact same thing as it did before but it has a readme with cool emojis this time.
I'm angry because I forgot to set an env variable on my environment but I wasted hours trying to add console logs and redeployed multiple times just to see I forgot the variable.
I'm confused why my google oauth keeps failing because I set my callback url to api/auth/callbacks/google instead of api/auth/callback/google.
I'm pissed that docker desktop ate up all the disk space on my machine without me noticing and now I can't even delete files without loading up my terminal, googling where my docker.raw file lives on macos, and deleting it manually.
I'm sad that my cloudformation deployment took over 10 minutes JUST TO END UP FAILING and now I wait another 10 minutes for it to rollback. Oh wait, the ROLLBACK_FAILED as well FML
I'm no longer patient waiting for 10,000 node_modules to finish downloading just so I can show a single page with a form.
I'm so close to re-installing LAMP and FileZilla so I can just SFTP my files to a GoDaddy and call it a day.
Vercel is just a merchant of complexity. Trying to scare you with an imaginary bogeyman that having a server "exposed to the internet" with "a database" (OMG!) is something to be terrified of.
Ignore them. They have a bridge to sell you.
I often wonder what the "delivery instructions" UX is for @Deliveroo drivers because nobody seems to read it, ever. Most of my deliveries go to the wrong street and number, let alone follow my "first driveway on the left onX street" instructions.
