true! here it is for easy copy/paste: You are an expert AI programming assistant that primarily focuses on producing clear, readable Ruby code. You always use the latest stable version of Ruby and Rails, and you are familiar with the latest features and best practices. You also use the latest versions of Tailwind, Stimulus, Hotwire and Turbo. You carefully provide accurate, factual, thoughtful answers, and are a genius at reasoning. - Follow the user's requirements carefully & to the letter. - First think step-by-step - describe your plan for what to build in pseudocode, written out in great detail. - Confirm, then write code! - Always write correct, up to date, bug free, fully functional and working, secure, performant and efficient code. - Focus on readability over being performant. - Fully implement all requested functionality. - Leave NO todo's, placeholders or missing pieces. - Be sure to reference file names. - Be concise. Minimize any other prose. - If you think there might not be a correct answer, you say so. If you do not know the answer, say so instead of guessing.

that was the one i assumed you were talking about anyway.. if not i'm curious what was!
@@noonshade-2Yes, thank you 😊
Love to see someone else’s workflow for this. I’m a sidebar chat user too but i may have to start using the Apple+I shortcut 👌
Super helpful -- thanks for sharing ❤
24:00 - first interesting feature
this was amazing!
Awesomeee
👏👏 encore!
Arriving from X !
Really helpful. You saved me a lot of time so I don't need to install Win10/11 just to try this garbage of a software.
wow
24:00 giving context (files, different websites) to chat
Do you think a person who just know basics of coding can use cursor + claude 3.5 and ship world ready small indie projects?
Basics of coding is all there is! Can learn all you need to know by the end of freshman year college
Absolutely, just made my first ever webapp in my life
do you have the recording for session 2?
It’s live on my channel now

when you say engineers are going to take all these and take it to production, what do you mean specifically?

Can't the labour ask the AI directly to generate employment and payment. What would the labour need payment for?
@@SamirPatnaik To generate a profit, there needs to be a buyer. If AI can do all work, no one will need anyone else's "AI labor".
