POV: You don't know how to create real value, so you engineer it
All while taking your users for fools

160% growth in 4 days π₯Ή
Btw, does anyone know what pmaxusbrand is?
It's 67% of the traffic π«

2 of my extensions have been exploding lately π
All that changed was:
I started commenting on some Reddit or forum posts where the extension would be relevant
Looks like sprinkling some "marketing magic" can go a long way π
Agreed! Definitively the most efficient person to have in your business.
Hire me πββοΈ
I'd be curious to know what's the real percentage of accounts who actually send the content of their "like + comment" posts
Very interesting to see how people on each social media platform reply
Some seem to have lost basics of being civil and go straight into attack mode
Others seems to show openess to healthy debates or constructive feedback
AI seems one of the rare to remain civil at all times
Stack Overflow used to be THE PLACE for code solutions
AI arrived and now it in full decline, capable of running on a $5 VPS
Lots of people are using GitHub to store prompts and code
Do to think GitHub could suffer from the same story, and decline due to its own success?
Cursor IDE once dominated
Claude Code entered the market with minimal impact on Cursor
Codex faded, and Antigravity is now rising
Recently, Cursor made poor decisions, leading to frustrated users
Since, their growth has massively declined while Claude Code is now dominating
n8n v2 just dropped
People can't get over that it now has an auto-save feature
n8n is not for everyone, it's still quite technical
If you're someone technical, you should already be used to spamming CTRL+S
We all have "trust issues" with auto-save π
Anyone going to the Web Summit next week?
73 days ago, I was hoping to celebrate 1.5K users
Then a massive drop happened...
Today I am celebrating 2K users π
The secret:
- Stop obsessing over the metrics to avoid negative energy
- Focus on continuously improving the Cursor Usage extension
- Share the improvements
You know you made it when a recruiter has to say:
"Please do not use AI tools during the interviews such as Cluely for instance as we have the possibility to detect it ;)"
Cluely was only founded in April 2025
Since then they:
- Raised $15 million
- Advertised in Time Square
OMG, [insert new AI model] just one shot my new website π€―
AI is coming for our jobs!!!
/s
Rather than have external MCP and knowledge base, frameworks are adapting π
Will coding change to have frameworks that are AI friendly rather than have knowledge of it?

This is the beginning of having AI in our pocket as a global standard.
This is next level!
Can't wait for procedural 3D generation video games!
Tiny Glade + Sim City = iCity 3D π€
Now I want to be an architect and play with iCity in Blender...
It could run, you would only need a model with less parameters like 3B parameters
Today is the day I discovered:
AnythingLLM Desktop π€―
- Run LLMs locally
- Chat with documents
- Al Agents built in
- Open-source
- Private by default
- No setup required
It's like LM Studio but on steroid!
Check it out here: llmoverwatch.com/
Just added Grok to LLM Overwatch β
Less than 5 months ago they introduced the Student Program
SheerID worked well, now it's utter chaos
People can't validate their status, and Cursor has no immediate plans to expand eligibility beyond .edu domains
Now, Cursor will leave behind up to 214 million students.
Cursor is expelling thousands of users from their Student Program
Using SheerID as third party to validate students, it is unable to validate anyone's ID
They only onboard .edu emails (which is a reserved domain for the US schools)
Any SEO expert can explain this?
- No change was done on my end in the last days
- Impressions went down
- Position went up
If position goes up, then impressions should increase, no?
Real talk: I've been a ChatGPT ride-or-die since day one.
But lately?
I've been leaning more and more towards Gemini
Google is absolutely catching up to the AI game
And honestly, it's quite good!
Anyone else doing the same?
What if governments allow individuals to deduct essential expenses (eg. rent, groceries, etc.) on their tax report at the end of the year?
Exactly like businesses do, allowing them to pay less taxes.
Shouldn't what counts be what is left in your pocket at the end?
π
Oh well...
