      I am actually trying something completely opposite. For a side project that I sometimes have to put on hold for a while I have a special session with chatgpt where we laid out a plan and it acts as a Project Manager (a micromanaging one). And I also have a tech-lead that advises me on technical issues setup in claud.
      This allows me to sit down at this project even with low energy and just be a monkey that does whatever the PM tells me to do in a way that the tech lead tells me to do

    This is the best one of these I’ve seen, and there’s about a 1000 lurking in any search that mentions Cursor. Mic is great, his thoughts and approach on the planning items is everything my instinct was telling me and just hadn’t heard anyone with experience like his say yet. You could bring him on for a monthly guest series to check-in on the latest in AI app dev for non-coders - and not run out of new stuff to cover for the next 2yrs.

    Coming from a design background, I automatically just design all my screen explicitly before starting to build out in Cursor. This has significantly made the apps i build better and the whole process much simpler because it knows and I know what I am looking for. There are times when I have to tweak designs when building to maintain or update certain functionalities but overall it is a seamless process and I have a lot of fun bringing the ideas in my head into life.

In corporate the part he started with would be done by business analyst and product managers. On a small project one person is doing everything, but Ai is really making it possible to build a full product with jus two people at most..

    Another great guest and helpful video. I learned to program BASIC in a college course, before the first MAC was released. I tried Assembly on an AppleIIGS 6502. That didn't go too well. I did continue with BASIC and taught VB through VB6 at a community college. Learned a bit of C and Python to help mentor high school students in robotics. I've been diving back in with no code and AI tools recently. As I say, I'm older than the internet, but this stuff is fun and keeps the cobwebs of the brain.

    Definetely agree on the starting with design advice. Even before Figma, having an initial information architecture (what does my data look like, how do all data tables or documents relate to each other), and an understanding of basics of UI/UX (effecting UI design and interaction patterns) is a really strong starting point. Even before that start with a list of requirements, use these to design your UI/UX and data, map that to a mockup (Figma or otherwise) and then map that to a logical project structure ( what tech stack/libraries do I need, how should I structure my project and files). Then armed with all these artifacts start your cursor project. For these earlier design stages, any of the chatbot AI's can also be of tremendous help as brainstorm partners or teachers

    I feel like I'm exactly the target audience for this content. A 'Cursor' newbie who can plan a service or be proficient with Figma, but not with coding, that's me. I found it easy to understand and didn't get bored in the slightest during the 40 minutes. My only suggestion would be to add vetted English subtitles so that more people can consume content like this. It would help non-English speakers understand exactly what you're talking about. Thanks to both of you for sharing this content.

    1. The rapid prototyping workflow is game-changing for product development.
    2. Love how you emphasized planning before coding - crucial advice for newbies and pros alike.
    3. Rasmic's explanations were super clear - definitely subscribing to his channel!
    Quick question: Any tips for integrating this approach into existing development workflows? I'm curious how teams are balancing AI tools with traditional coding practices.

    Question for Ras Mic or anyone who can help. I'm a backend developer with 10 years of experience in CMS development(AEM). I want to get started with these AI tools but I'm kind of lost as to which ones I should start with and what's required to get started. From this video I understand V0 and Cusor are the AI that I want to start with but is there a video I can follow to get started to answer questions like:
    1) Which IDE are you using that allows the AI commands on the right?
    2) What minimum cost is required to be up and running and which ones are worth buying to just start learning even if I'm not planning to sell anything for now.
    3) Can I upload an existing project to start with and make tweaks on it or is it like just build once on these tools and then you are on your own?

    Excellent episode. Thanks. I was thinking of purchasing Bolt or Windsurfer or Cursor, but I think Cursor will be great.

    This sharing is definitely more wonderful for teach people learning how to use Cursor!

    I have been using Cursor to help build a web app in Python and Quart.
    No joke I’ve been stuck on the same problem for A MONTH!! It just goes in circles. It frequently deletes important code blocks and adds stuff that’s not needed. The longer you use it on a project, the worse the outcome.
