Today we introduce TIN: a powerful and reliable full-text search extension for Postgres. TIN works with complicated WHERE clauses, replication, backups, and maintains correct transaction visibility. It's also mind-blowingly fast.

making the agents argue each other on your behalf about the best solution is the best.

ver nice way to build projects imo xitter.cf/cursor_ai/status/20981…
Introducing Projects, a new way of working in Cursor. Rather than creating a chat for every task, you work with a coordinator agent in a single, persistent thread. Like @bot, your agent is always on, proactively manages work with subagents, and improves over time.

Fable is great for code. Astra is great for design.

i’ve been playing around with @bot and @cursor_ai and i can confidently say two things: - the setup is way better than what claude/codex offers by a country mile - i am extremely happy @poteto works there now - i remember working with her at DockYard back in the day - she’s great thanks for @JackEllis for nudging me to try it - i’m not going to cancel my claude subscription just yet, but i am getting close

My set-up is now Cursor & I'm migrating my "general chat and business support" from ChatGPT to Grok Bot. If you're not already using Grok Bot, I'd suggest following @poteto as she's been putting out lots about it. I've also been using Grok 4.6 as my primary coding driver.

hot take: no one really knows how to interview software engineers in the “AI era” and people are just winding it. another hot take: we have always been winding just with process.

i also find the scratchpads, todos pretty useful. i would use a simple markdown file before. this is a bit more organised.
