- If some keep engaging with your content, but it looks somewhat AI generated Should you: 1. Be grateful for the "free engagement" 2. Block that person
- n8n literally went from being "nobody" to being the "go to for AI agents" Patience is key 👌
- Praise the lord of vanilla PHP 🙌 Just finished a full-on RAG using nothing but old-school SQLite and plain PHP. No frameworks, no extra stuff, just pure code like the good old days. Honestly, feels like magic when it all just works.
- Anthropic is doing it right! Not like @OpenAI: They never sent any heads up and refuse to collaborate in any ways. Clearly they don't care about their customers.
- What a good way to start the day 🥹 GM!
- Reddit is cracking down on people that edit posts 😬 After editing some post to add a full explanatory video I recorded, I kept getting: > Sorry, this post was removed by Reddit’s filters. Then tried to send the link to someone that asked for help previously 👇
- Hot take: AI agents are just a bunch of cron jobs or automation workflow
- Will all the SaaS boilerplate that exist: Should I do one in full plain PHP?
- Why you should never trust AI Today is: 2025-05-13 Review. The. Damn. Code. At least it got the month and day right 👀
- When using an extension, do you prefer to be a Pop up - OR - Side panel The Cursor Usage extension is having more and more content to display Currently, the popup can't show all the content without scroll.
- It's probably close to impossible to "one-shot" an app. 99% of the time, there will be edge cases we haven't thought of. I always think it's finally done: Done ✅ Yet, my Gas Price PT bot wasn't fetching the price correctly... Just fixed it, dodged bullets, call me Neo 😅
- One of the most infuriating OpenAI can do 👇
- Who needs a custom dropdown list when you have: <datalist> All you need is: <input list="browsers"> and <datalist id="browsers"> You can't have easier than that 🤯
- This is the key to viral content: Be early in finding recent viral content. Repost it 🔄 Done ✅
- Do all content nowadays need visual content? Image - or - Video What content have you seen lately that didn't have an image or video that went viral?
- My tool is 108K lines long (in a single file) AI is clearly useless here, even autocomplete doesn't work I wanted to use AI to make some changes (pure laziness) After starting to make changes manually, I realized: I didn't needed AI at all AI is slowly making us lazy...
- Sometimes I don't know what to post So, I made an AI social media post generator Should I try posting some of the generated content to see how it performs? Or I'm going to get cancelled? 😅
- AI these days, trying to always be right: Yes means No, and No means Yes... Only when it's convenient 😅
- MCPs are great, but I feel like I am missing something... What are other use cases outside of Cursor? How are MCPs more beneficial than using the APIs directly?
- Smart move from Cloudflare! In their documentation, they give the option to get the page in Markdown. That's perfect for LLMs 😎
- Not sure if it was automated or not (kind of looks like it) But my vibe coding soundtrack post has been mentioned on Linkedin 👀
- Yesterday was my birthday 🎂 Received plenty of happy birthday wishes 🙏 The ones that confuse me most are those from people that never interacted with me (especially on Linkedin) Don't get me wrong, it's nice of them, but it just feels odd...
- If there would be a soundtrack to vibe coding That would be it 👇
- Every article title: > What caused the power outage of Portugal and Spain? The summary of the article: > We don’t know (but we vow to find the cause) LOL. GLHF 😅
- Now that I find out that AI models are a lifesavers during blackouts Just downloaded PocketPal on my phone to run AI locally 😎
- Called it! Legit a day before the real "apocalypse" I drafted this post 👇 Was just waiting to get a better picture of my bow and arrow (ended up posting it the next day during the real blackout)
- After the Portugal blackout, the first purchase of the day 👇
- Yesterday was one of my most productive days. Portugal blackout caused us to not have electricity for 12 hours. Finally had the time to tackle A LOT of house tasks. And thanks to LM Studio and AI local models, any questions I had could be answered without internet 😎
- When you don't renew your X subscription 😬
- Since Portugal and Spain are now without electricity I am ready for the apocalypse 😅
- The best trick to avoid enshittification is simply to buy cheaper directly from the source (aka often China) It tends to lower my expectations since the cost of loss is lower, so I expect less. Been doing that for the last 15 years and it never disappointed me.
- If you use Google daily, does that mean you are a "big data researcher" at Google? If you use OpenAI daily, does it mean you are a "machine learning scientist"?
- We had modular phones Now we have modular cars Love it!
- Is this the beginning of a hockey stick? 📈 Overall stats need improvement, but looks like it's picking up 🚀
- Claude AI is feeling sassy today: "Let ME show YOU" *sigh* (humans... these peasants 🙄) 😂 😂 😂
