If you switched from IntelliJ to Cursor and miss your old workflow, read this: I just switched back to IntelliJ + Claude Code after 9 months with Cursor. Here's what I discovered: ✅ Claude Code integration is surprisingly smooth ✅ All the AI benefits without the quirks ✅ Database viewer that actually works ✅ VIM keybindings that don't feel like a hack ✅ JetBrains ecosystem beats flashy newcomers ❌ JetBrains AI Assistant = skip it ❌ Missing some of Cursor's "magic moments" ❌ Never got comfortable with VS Code anyway Bottom line: You can get 90% of Cursor's AI magic while keeping all the IntelliJ features you actually miss. The grass isn't always greener. Sometimes the best move is going back home with better tools. Following me = getting real-world dev insights without the fluff

Also bothered Claude Code a bit more and quickly built a @typefully MCP server to have Claude Desktop publish drafts directly into TypeFully using the API.

2 hours with Claude Code = complete NestJS starter kit it reads your code, understands context, suggests commands, you just say yes/no the constant "are you sure?" gets annoying.. sometimes you want yolo mode :D but damn, it built something that would've taken me a full day docker + prisma + stripe + jobs all configured and working way better than Cursor - it actually feels "agentic"

You get Claude Max - what to build first?

most folks still rely on classic RAG for AI agents but i’ve seen firsthand how it falls apart for live data my new game plan for dynamic client work👇

/6 setup’s not rocket science: - run a neo4j db - connect your agent to the graph - feed in new info as it comes python, docker, whatever—just keep the pipeline live.

/7 my takeaway: if your data moves fast, classic RAG is already obsolete. hybrid + temporal knowledge graphs = answers that actually match reality. happy building.

Unlocking focus: is it worth the trade-off? fasting + caffeine is honestly my cheat code for focus i get so much more done on an empty stomach, but damn—i’m always freezing and kinda jittery by noon you can’t win both ways i guess

i forced myself to talk on camera for 5 minutes a day. no editing, no do-overs. just exposure therapy for camera-shyness. never thought hearing my own filler words would be so painful (and weirdly effective).

Still see people copy-pasting every morning like it’s 2015. We're living in a bubble. I see this frequently in the co-working space, and I'm not sure why. Daily data pulls, logging into 5 tools, filling out the same forms.. AI + BrowserMCP or a plain N8N automation and it’s done.

most german flats: no AC, barely a fan, just vibes and heat-induced brain fog. how do people in warmer countries keep working?

Some weeks: - Building and shipping on repeat Other weeks: - Motivation gone - Sleep trash - Everything feels stuck It’s never linear.
