My year in Cursor shows it’s mostly on side projects during the summer, tailing off in the autumn when I started using ChatGPT Codex instead.
It’s definitely the year I started putting agents to work for me though.

I wanted to be able to open some links across MacOS in Chrome over my default Safari (as some sites "work better" in Chrome).
I know there are apps available for this but why install more things when an AppleScript can do it?
One quick prompt later and this worked just fine within a few minutes.

Latest #GoogleSheets hack extracts all the tracks from @housefinesse.com show notes (as they’re always ordered lists) into a dedicated sheet of tracks split by artist and track title.
All thanks to a few #ChatGPT prompts, this went from idea to reality in about 15 minutes.

Final push of our @petals.team app redesign is ON.
It’s been in the works for months and challenging at times but I’m actually quite proud of what we’ve put together during this project.
Now we need to get some user feedback. What can go wrong‽

Someone just compared our third party due diligence process to the game Guess Who…
"Does it have a moustache?"
Interesting analogy and quite a fun approach to eliminate options.

They say you should never meet your heroes but today, I got to interview one of my musical heroes for my @housefinesse.com podcast and it was wonderful fun.
He was very humble, relatable and easy to bounce off which, after 30 years in the industry, says it all.
