Hi! My name is Daniel. I am building bountycaster.xyz

Are you using cursor? Another LLM or none at all? What are your general thoughts on the dev AI tools these days

I love AI tools.

I use Cursor, Claude, ChatGPT all the time. Bountycaster would take a lot more to build without these tools

What types of tasks are those tools good for, and which ones are they not good for?  Which parts of Bountycaster have been (partially) AI-generated? 😀

Parts of Bountycaster that are 80% AI generated:
- Frontend UI (Tailwind, Shadcn)
- Unit tests and E2E tests (Playwright)
- AI prompts for bountybot

For the above, Claude Sonnet and V0 for UI are two great tools. I've really liked Anthropic's Playground to refine prompts. They have a great "Improve prompt" feature.
