Honest confession: For all the non-coding stuff, 90% of my ChatGPT workflow is just opening a chat and typing. No system prompts, custom instructions, projects or custom GPTs. Is that the secret norm or am I missing the magic? What’s your workflow?

I've said it before, I'll say it again: Cursor's TAB feature is maybe even more amazing and helpful than "Agent Mode". And combining both is simply 🤌

One thing I found useful when building with AI is to have it create audits (eg for security vulnerabilities, performance issues) from time to time. Using "Ask" mode for that. It's one area where I found GPT-5-High to perform rather well since it tends to overthink stuff anyways.…

The amount of "any" or "as ..." AI (no matter which model in my experience) puts into its code is mindblowing. Probably only surpassed by the amount of useEffect() calls.

Maybe Cursor + GPT 5 (high, max) got a bit better. Not 100% sure yet. But BOY does it like to think, and research, and take a look at all files, and grep some, and research more, and think more, and web search, and ... and ... and ... I mean ... the results are good, I guess?…

The "Update & Shutdown" option on Windows is like checking "Stay Logged In" on any Microsoft Site. It's not supposed to work, right?

The internet is increasingly filled with AI-generated content. When new AI models train on this content without enough diverse human input they risk a feedback loop. Like a writer only reading their own work. It feels clever at first but may amplify biases or lose factual…

With LLMs, creating database migrations can be as easy as 1) Define a TS class or interface 2) Ask the LLM to create the SQL migrations 3) Bonus: Ask the LLM to write a migration script that you can run for this and future migrations Not saying that dedicated migration tools or…

I don't think the "% of code written by AI" KPI is a very good one. Especially if you also include TAB completions, that number is easily 80-90% for me. But it's so far away from "hey, build me this app that does X" that it's not even funny. And those missing 10%? That's the…

By the way, just because GPT-5 doesn't seem to be the big thing that was promised to us (for now at least), does NOT mean that LLMs / AI are useless! You should absolutely use AI as a developer. It will likely make you more productive and maybe even make coding more fun (not for…

I guess Gemini 3 will tell us whether LLM progress has plateaued (for now) or not

Not going to doubt that it's better ... but are you telling me the Non-Pro versions are deliberately worse than competing models at the same price level?

Hey @PaddleHQ are you still not accepting any businesses that do anything with AI image generation? Because I’d like to use you for such a web app soon.
