v8: Founder mode

📍 Brighton, 🇬🇧 

🥃 TL;DR

• I’m in "founder mode" launching something awesome

• Cursor is better than GitHub Copilot

• There’s even more Rust's in JavaScript ecosystem now

• Anthropic uses Claude Code: have some questions about that

• Liquid Glass

This one’s a late one!

You know how, I don’t have any fancy prep or scheduling. This is just me, my saved links from the week, and an hour of focused writing.

This time it’s going to be a brief one, mainly because I've been in founder mode launching something awesome 👇

So far I’ve got this marketing site, and the product that is almost there - just need to fix some bugs and polish things up a bit. Stay tuned, I’ll tell you more later.

I’m REALLY fucking excited! 🚀

Full-on founder mode didn’t stop me from being online and reading things tho. So let’s talk about what caught my attention.

Cursor > GitHub Copilot. Fact.

I worked with both. Cursor sucks in the beginning but then it learns. It adapts to you, I feel like. While Copilot stays predictable. Which is also not a bad behaviour to have.

I don’t know the exact tech and strategies they use under the hood of Cursor, but they do work in our (i.e. users’) favour, IMO.

Sometimes I feel like I should take a prolonged break, because of how much I was able to do compared to how much the company and everyone actually expect from me.

Rust continues to infiltrate JavaScript ecosystem. And I love it.

That’s all I have to say.

One of the Claude team members shared how they’re using Claude internally. And it’s great. But all of those cases are about a quick throw away kind of apps and projects.

Questions about further maintenance are left unanswered, and they’re really important. Because at a later stages of the project lifecycle, you must have a really detailed prompts to the point of which files and functions and state to put where, and how to make it work together to make it do good job.

I found myself doing a lot of .md documents when working on a project, and AI is doing it for me with my further refinement. Those are useful for both of us: me for my clarity and AI for instructions and guidance/context.

I wanna try Claude Code on my TriageAgent.ai project. But I’m gonna make it proper, I’m gonna let it in not from the beginning but rather throw it in at a production-ready stage. I wanna see how it works then, and if it holds the promise.

Don’t wanna pay $20/mo tho. That hurts for some reason. Buying 2 pints at a pub for the same amount doesn't. 🤷 

Should I say anything about Apple’s Liquid Glass?

Nah. It’s all been said.

That's pretty much it for this week!

Catch you next time!

🎓️ Top Learning Materials of the Week

I’ve learned nothing this week. Too much time spent on just doing things. Sometimes I need that. 😄

⚒️ Tools of the Week

🧊 react-spline - an awesome 3D tool my designer used to create graphics for TriageAgent.ai. So quick and easy to integrate code-wise. Amazeballs!
