100% And then there's the weird formatting issues! ChatGPT on the web will copy out original markdown syntax. Whereas the iOS app can only copy rich text. It's 😤

This thing has been a big quality of life improvement for my keyboard cruft. https://a.co/d/6nLgq32 It doesn't get everything 100% but it's handy enough to use every few days/weeks, and get most of it.

Think Zapier, Make.com, etc. but open source, and can be self-hosted.

Anyone else use n8n for automations? I couldn't seem to find a node that connected with Warpcast/Farcaster for posting, feed/profile fetching, etc. Going to try and put one together, using the @neynar APIs. Hoping to set it loose next week. 🤞🏼

We'll chalk that up to character limits and my general reluctance to add rice to my burritos 🙃

Cursor is a wrapper for ChatGPT. Also: 🌯 Burritos are wrappers for beans, cheese, and meat 💿 Playlists are wrappers for songs 📰 Publications are wrappers for writings The parts can be enjoyed on their own. But wrappers can also be enjoyed as more than just a sum of parts.

Pairing with AI agents to code feels like immersion language learning to me. I know the output I'm going for when prompting so when the result arrives I can look through it, and try to understand the patterns & techniques that were used. It's gotten me so much further than any code tutorial ever has.

Building w/ AI agents has been transformative for me. Feeling like I can finally unlock ideas & explore things without being held back by my coding… But actually learning things has been my favorite part. So while you vibe away, don't miss out on the teaching moments. 🧠🧐📚

VS Code walked so that [???] could run. What's the next evolution of an IDE going to look like that's not a fork? https://warpcast.com/mg/0xa0f5f058

Definitely enticing and I'll try it out when ready. I like a lot about Zed. But I'd need to have parity with Cursor + Roo Code or it would be hard to switch.

Yes, and it's awesome. The one big thing that I'm missing when using it exclusively is a companion view that I can read through the markup directly. I'm sure a split terminal with Neovim could be an answer to that, but maybe not quite the UX I'm envisioning.

I wonder who the first team will be to break free from the VS Code dependency, and deliver a fresh take on what an Agent-forward IDE could be… 🤔 VS Code is great, but is kind of bloated, and wasn't really designed for the workflows that could make agent-driven development shine.

Love to see this. Here's the Brainstormer prompt mentioned, for those curious: https://github.com/galligan/maybe-good-prompts/blob/main/prompts/mode-brainstormer.md

Wow! That's really awesome to hear, glad you're liking it! Have you done a few runs with it so far? Good results I'm assuming?

Yep, couldn't agree more. I suppose this one in particular is a good example, since it makes use of the format & params for easy copy/paste and getting started. Need to get more out there!

Thought it might be fun to start open-sourcing and posting the AI prompts that I'm making and using daily. Just put up my first one, which I've had a lot of fun and success with—essentially an ideation partner. Check it out and let me know what you think: https://warpcast.com/mg/0x3f73930b
