Trying out Cursor's agent mode today. I didn't realize it had a Plan mode then a Build mode available.
It just one shot 3 pages and 3 forms, made server actions, db changes, in under 60 seconds.

If you're using Cursor, you have got to give their new Compose 1 model a try.

I've noticed Claude doesn't produce documents as artifacts as often as it used to.
I frequently have to tell it to do it after it creates something. (unless it's code)

Stop building for other software companies. There's only 585k software and IT companies in the US. And only 36k of those are SaaS companies.
Stop building for other Indies, they'll just clone you with AI or fold in a couple months.

Somedays I'm like "Do I buy this little single purpose tool for $12/month... or do I vibe code it myself and host it as a free tool for my own SEO..."

AI search results are just SEO in a trench coat.
Most makers wing it when it comes to marketing.
That may work for vibe coding, but not for marketing.
The right play is to pick a channel, learn how to execute on it, and learn <-> iterate.
Here's my top 4 for SaaS:
* FB Ads
* Google Ads
* SEO
* Cold email
