@_devJNS Fifteen years ago, I didn't go to college and taught myself how to code. I had no certificates, and it was hard to find a coding job. Finally, I got a job helping clients deploy customized software on Linux and provide technical support. I didn't need to write code, but at.

Cursor CLI First Experience: . One-click installation, can select multiple models (including the latest GPT-5), can reuse exist Cursor Rules and MCP configurations. Not supported: choose file and custom Splash commands, not quite used to it. Love the terminal interaction +.

My gut reaction is also: stick with Claude Code. Why? Stable tool calling and already familiar and well-configured workflow, but I will try other tools to assist with planning, debug and review.
So ChatGPT-5 has:. - 400k context window.- very good tool calling .- beats Opus 4.1 on SWE-bench.- significantly cheaper API pricing. It will be interesting to see if they give Codex any love with a plan like Claude Code Max. My gut reaction: stick with Claude Code….

Cursor has shipped its CLI, and I would love to try it. I love a CLI with multiple models, that would have much more fun things to do.
Cursor is now in your terminal! It’s an early beta. Access all models. Move easily between your CLI and editor.

It's been about two months since switching from ChatGPT to Gemini, and the biggest feeling is that there's much less nonsense and fewer emojis.

Claude code and gemini cli are completely fine as personal assistants, especially since there are a large number of command tools behind them that can be called, and they are super assistants for programmers. I asked the claude code to configure nvim for me, which was very.

I gotta look after and play with my two kids everyday. When they're asleep, I can finally code, which helps me chill out.

I've often been tempted to switch to Linux as my primary computer, but I've become so accustomed to the shortcut keys and trackpad of macOS that it's hard to change habits.

@expo ## Day 6 - High-Performance Storage. Replaced AsyncStorage with MMKV for better performance. Built four storage tiers: Preferences, Cache with TTL, Secure, and Temp. All type-safe with comprehensive tests. Sometimes the boring infrastructure work makes the biggest difference.

Working on the storage module for BuildEasy React Native Starter today. Chose MMKV - this library is really well-designed, I used to use it in my every projects. Great performance, clean API, and built-in encryption support. Designed four storage tiers:.- preferences: user.
AsyncStorage is slow. Forget it. Use MMKV – 30x faster, C++ powered, perfect for fast local storage. Thank me later.

Thinking deeply and expressing clearly are the keys.
Stop treating AI like a machine. Start treating it like your new colleague. The "prompts" you give it are you assigning work. The clearer your goal and the more context you provide, the faster and better your new colleague can perform. Your ability to communicate directly.

Just had a fun app idea: A monitor that plays a loud, custom sound every time you get a new Stripe payment. Basically, Gilfoyle's Bitcoin alert from Silicon Valley, but for revenue. Cool or just incredibly annoying?

Tips for coding with Claude Code:.- Before you start, discuss your goal thoroughly with it to ensure everything is clear. - Next, use "plan mode": lay out your goal and requirements, then review the plan until you're confident it's solid. - Once the plan is ready, create a new.
