Thank you for the kind words! Indeed, they don't know what Git is, however from my experience, they kind of know what Github is and know that the codebase of their company lives there. My assumption is that it will be enough for them to push engineering to set them up with that tool :)
You probably should remove or at least obfuscate parts of the successful prompts. I was able to get the #1 rank on the leaderboard by copying the previous #1 and removing the last character.
I have two that I use a lot:
- Postgres one connected to my local db
- A browser (Playwright)
That way I can ask cursor something like: "Find an object with xxx property in the db, open its page in the browser, fix console errors"
And it's able to query my db, find relevant object, open the browser, check logs, fix the code based on errors.
Even simpler stuff:
- copying pasting a broken local url in cursor, and asking it to fix all console errors. Works really well.
- or when you have a complex schema, and need to find some kind of specific record, you can just ask cursor "find me a user that has X transactions, matches Y condition, etc..". I found it much faster than me at finding relevant records
Reminds of when you see people questioning the usefulness of getting vaccines for some diseases because they have almost entirely disappeared for the past 50 years (especially in 1st world countries for some), without realizing that this is precisely the reason why they don't reappear.
Good question, not sure how I would know the answer though. You probably should ask the guy. Given how he seems to track everything, I wouldn't be surprised if he came up with a way of measuring that as well.
I started https://www.tryethernal.com which is pretty niche (developer tooling for blockchain developers). I needed this tool when I got into Solidity development, and after a few hours of googling something like that, I couldn't believe it didn't already exist, so I built it.
I'd be curious to see if a system like that exists already for some kind of digital asset: secondary sales for something that is not limited in quantity, and can still be bought from the source at a higher price.

I get your point but I don't see how this could actually work. As a buyer, why would I buy an iTunes movie from someone else and not from iTunes? And as a seller, why would I sell it at a lower price than what it is on iTunes? It's not like it would come with a box that would look used/damaged, or a DVD with scratches on it.
Definitely, yes! That was just a theoretical example to say that this kind of claim can be proven wrong very easily and publicly (probably not worded the best way though :))
Maybe blockchains immutability is going to actually make people think twice before putting something online.
"Web2" makes us think that we can delete whatever we post, or what we send is not going to be stored. And we believe it because it is technically possible, even though we don't have any way to double check.
If a service claims that you can delete/hide whatever data you uploaded on the blockchain, you'd be able to verify it and not only trust them.
And if you are told that using this service, there is no way to delete it, and that anybody can see it, you might avoid doing something that you'd have done with web2 and regretted later.
Mixpanel, their UI is amazing and they make it really easy to setup graphs that are actually useful.
I'd recommend only sending server side events so you get really accurate stats and no privacy invasion.
I tried to limit the number of events tracked as well, and made sure I knew why I was tracking something, and not just "because I can", I found that it made it easier to focus on what matters.
Backend: Firebase, between Firestore and Real-Time Database you get enough flexibility to quickly iterate on your db schema, Functions are also good enough to handle any kind of backend (easy to integrate with express). They have a dropin authentication UI/backend that take care of all the signin/signup/forgot password logic.
Frontend: Vue.js + Vuetify, you get a simple frontend framework that gets you started in a couple of minutes, and more than enough UI components that you'd need for a POC
