Devs are "cursed". Cursor is spreading like the plague. I'm afraid I won't be able to code without it soon. I'm already almost only writing prompts instead of code. Scary powerful. Imagine how far it is going to be in 1, 2 or 5 years. Developer jobs are at risk, for real.

I hate credits-based "subscriptions". - It's confusing to understand how much I'll use. - It makes me anxious. - I'm scared it'll use up everything fast. Seeing this everywhere nowadays. I can't be the only one, right?.

This seems UNFAIR. ProductHunt is a place where you get highlighted based on the number of votes you get in 24h. Let's be honest, the product itself counts, but sometimes we find big corporations standing on the podium for average products. This is so UNFAIR for small.
