If you're coding utilities to make your life easier, as you've described, it really doesnt matter.. like you stated.

I mean more when people are using this to code for "production" a website, app or service that others will use.

I know, I just think it's hilarious that my retarded ass can finish projects I've had in the books for 15 years and it takes like 2 hours. :1orglaugh

Right! I have some oooooold to-do list items getting checked off. :banana:

Any of you maniacs using MAX?

I've been coding all day, making huuuuuge progress!

Working with Cursor is more fun than smoking weed, and cheaper!

Fuck... I am going to be the fucking compilation KING.

My fucking app is running pretty slick at the moment, but I had a big setback today as my settings.JSON got corrupt somehow!

Luckily I built an automatic backup system into my app, but, somehow, I did not back it up for 3 hours and I had made massive progress during that time, and Cursor actually overwrote part of my code that we had made big advances on, so, for the last 3-4 hours, I have had Cursor rebuild the progress I made earlier. I find that Cursor gets fucking slow and makes mistakes the longer you work in a folder, so what I've been doing is, once I get to a good version of the app, I copy-paste the whole folder to another version, so now we're on GetDatBag5 app now, and then I re-open the folder fresh in Cursor and explain to it the history of the app and it works much smoother again.

I think by my birthday, May 1st, this app will be running really nice. I have a ton of real life bullshit to do starting on this Friday to make rent and survive, but the coding progress I'm making is freakin' siiiiiiiiiick!

You know you can revert to a checkpoint in Cursor? - Look in your chat and just click the button - I can't remember exactly what it says, but it's something like "Restore Checkpoint" - I use it a lot...

Yeah but the window gets sooooooooo slow after hours and hours...

I just figured out my issue...

tkinter Frames are a no-no in a JSON configuration, even Cursor AI didn't figure it out until I went into the JSON and I was poking around as to why my shit kept getting corrupt and I couldn't save these things I am trying to do in batch, and it is because JSON isn't designed to hold the complex info I'm trying to feed through it. You could work around it, but it's a pain, so I just switched to another data storage format and shit is fine now. Holy shit the AI couldn't figure it out until I kept hammering on it what the fuck was going on?! :upsidedow

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Cursor needs a slap upside the head... why is it that I fix the issues by storing some of the complex data in a CSV file, but then Cursor decides, randomly, to switch back to using JSON and breaking my shit? Going to slap the shit out of this AI!

.cursorrules

Why does Cursor betray me and switch from our CSV setup that works, to, in the middle of updating another feature, slip JSON in under the door and then all our settings.config data is corrupt?

Very strange!

I think I am going to take all of the good stuff we've built, put it in a new folder, and re-write it so that my main app "Get Dat Bag" is just a launcher for a bunch of separate apps that, if Cursor fuckin' fucks them up, I can just replace those apps. Somehow my main app has been fucked over by cursor and I'm having all these weird UI errors, JSON replacing my super-simple and functional CSV method that works for any data I pass it... Cursor has an obsession with switching things to JSON for no reason! I'm a firm believer in keeping all my code as modular as possible, but I think I need to re-write my main app with clear instructions to Cursor in where all the important data needs to be stored and how it is stored, so there is NO confusion by Cursor. Imagine my shock when Cursor suddenly tells me that we've switched to storing our complex data in JSON again and because we store all this crazy shit in there that has weird characters, that our JSON data is corrupt again...... fuck!!!

Kind of frustrated at the moment, because I had everything working SO good, and then I used this new thing I had Cursor build, this new thing that was SO close to basically running my entire ship like clockwork with these if-this-then-that type functions, where the script could then call AI and have AI do some shit for me to basically re-create me as a worker but in code form, and then Cursor fuckin' slid JSON in under the door and fucked the whole system, and I've used 100+ prompts now to try and un-fuck the whole situation but shit is fucked!!!

I think I will have to roll back to 2 days ago. Sucks!!!

But, hey, how else do you learn but to fall down and fail along the way? :pimp

use git, for stable checkpoints.

Use cursor checkpoints in between

How do I use git? :1orglaugh

type exactly that in cursor prompt window my man .... jesus christ lol

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Okay I'll ask ChatGPT since I'm runnin' out of prompts!

openai have released codex cli which is pretty much an open-source copy of claude code. just saying...
