Using @webflow's new MCP server in @cursor_ai , vibe coded my way to fix all alt-text images on a personal site with hundreds of images. Worked! 😀🙌🤖 "check images in all cms collections for missing alt-text. If an image does not have alt-text, fix the alt-text for each image"

5/ The temptation is usually too high (especially amongst talented engineering teams) to build something that can scale, or that is more "complete." It's scary to show customers something and likely be rejected, and have to iterate. It's emotionally easier to keep building.
What pains me about the “NYC is done” & “leaving SF forever” crowd isn’t that they’re leaving (I get it) but the attitude that the city was something to take & now that it faces adversity, they’re gone. Cities are not products you consume—they require participation & investment.
