In the past week, I used Cursor to make significant changes to a larger project, which led me to cancel a contract with a consulting firm. Then, almost spontaneously, I built a digital requests platform with thirty forms for our company—an MVP that turned out to be quite solid.
On the weekend, I put together a site for my spouse where she can submit URLs from paywalled articles, receive an AI-generated summary, and get an archive.is link—just a fun side project. And since I was on a roll, I also built a new UI for my thousands of notes in Obsidian: a three-pane viewer with a list, note preview, and folder navigation.
All of this, simply because I can. It really makes me wonder what this means for the software job market. This article offers some perspective.
I use my openai api key. Only my wife an I use the site.
In my case the app sends the summary to my Obsidian vault as well and creates a new note, if I ask it to.
I feel like we're in crazy times. I feel like I can implement whatever I think of with a hundred devs at my fingertips. The only limit is my time and imagination.
