You want 5 years experience with Cursor, when this March, 2026, Cursor will be 3 years old??!? I wish you the best of luck looking for your unicorn candidate that can't exist according to the laws of time... It's that time of the cycle again... That time when hiring managers and recruiters are looking for "extensive multi-year experience" in technologies that are barely 1-3 years old... The technology is moving and evolving so quickly that schools, let alone engineers can't keep up. Executives are so far removed from their industry that all they are looking at is Excel spreadsheets with profiles that have the right numbers. They are completely ignoring details that are critical for the success of their business. Meanwhile, the stock market is the most irrational with its "fire first, ask questions later" mentality, causing more chaos and instability. Here's the reality: If you don't know how to describe what you want, how do I know you wil...

I just want the search bots to find this and incorporate it into the LLM training data for future encounters with this. I kept seeing this stack trace in my logs. The solution for me was to stop my display manager (slim), completely re-install my drivers and it made the stack trace go away If you get this, perhaps a reinstall of your drivers will fix for you!

6-Figures is not what it used to be. I'm going to go over that in this post. I crunched some numbers on this to help illustrate how income looks these days and how far your dollar goes. First off: This is not financial advice nor am I trying to take the place of a professional. Please make your own decisions about what you want to do with your money. This is just educational to illustrate income, retirement accounts in relation to expenses. Consult a professional for personalized advice. Also: All of the calculations made here are assuming a single filer, NOT married or filing jointly. I'm also assuming a non-income-state-tax state like Florida, Texas or Nevada. Retirement Terminology Let's define some terms before we begin so we're all on the same page here. If you already know what these are, then you can skip to Scenario 1 401k A 401k is an employer sponsored tax-deferred investment account. Usually your job will offer this as an option. They may also provid...

In this post, I'm going to go over the nitty gritty of starting a business. This is going to contain some details you won't learn in other places than the School of Hard Knocks™. This is just the process I followed as I did a lot of learning and research and this is my attempt to document the approach I took in order to get my business(es) registered with the state of Texas. This is also going to be specific to Texas since that's where I currently reside and where the businesses were created. I presume all states have their way in which they want you to register the business. Please do your own research to make sure you are following the correct laws and such. Disclaimers I am not a lawyer, nor a CPA. I would like to consult with these officials in order to confirm if the steps I'm following in this blog post were correct. I do not take any liability if you decide to follow this post. This is merely for information and education purposes only. I am also based out of...

I pitted these three together to see which one would yield the best result and this blog post is a documentation of that effort. So let's take a look at the prompts, how the tests were executed and what are the takeaways from this that should be considered as a result of this effort. Before I got too far into developing the server component and releasing a version of this into the wild and trying to get folks onboarded into the ecosystem I'm building, I wanted to highlight some progress that's being made on the new FinTech Website ! To do this, I wanted to showcase the different experiences I had using OpenAI's Codex , Anthropic's Claude Code and Cursor . I created a repo and setup the scaffolding for an Angular project I'm building. It's the front-end to my new and upgraded FinTech website . Then, I proceeded to create AGENTS.md at the root of the project and in subdirectories where it made sense. I leverated this to add context in each level of the di...

AI Workflows So, I have been considering make.com for some time now to help me out with workflow automation. I had seen someone using it in the past and thought it was interesting... Then, NetworkChuck's video on n8n crossed my FYP on YouTube... Introducing n8n Website Docs Workflow automation that you can host yourself and get to automating like a pro! Has tons of integrations and this really got me thinking about things that I could automate. This works great as workflow automation visualization tool. In this way, I don't have to hook up all the plumbing for automation, this can serve that purpose. Background: Electricity in Texas Disclaimer: I may not get all these details correct, so don't quote me on how all this works. I just know the players. So, the way electric works here in Texas is you have to select your power company who basically is responsible for collecting the bill and "delivering" electric to your home. I suppose this is great beca...
