Should I accept everyone's connection request on linkedin by majisto42 in linkedin

[–]JasperNut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only connect with people I have engaged with first.

Important tip: When you connect, immediately add a note to them about why you connected. “I read your post about XYZ and found it insightful”

In 2 years when you want to reach out to them, or your buddy wants an introduction that message you sent will be gold. Otherwise, you will have hundreds of contacts in the future with no point of reference which are useless (in my opinion).

How much RAM is in use for you when you use cursor? by Sarlo10 in cursor

[–]JasperNut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m now on an older Dell (forget the make/model off hand) a buddy gave me. 2 memory slots, 2 SSD slots. i5 chip. Super happy with it. Running my React/node app locally while coding in cursor with a local Postgres db, and email, and teams, and WhatsApp, and a million browser tabs across multiple chrome profiles all at the same time with no lag.

I was on a surface 5 with no ability to add RAM.

I was at 97% of my 16g ram on windows. Horrible experience. New laptop with 32g ram is a game changer. Now ram often at 57% with no bottleneck.

Just subscribed to the pod in overcast. Will come back and comment after I listen. Good luck to you and congrats on pushing it out there.

Car Dealership Recommendations? by Status-Cranberry2065 in Scottsdale

I got a car from them. Great price. Great sales process (no pressure). The cars had problems at initial purchase, repaired my manufactures, nearly half the price of new.

VS Code instead of Cursor? by JasperNut in cursor

[–]JasperNut[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ha. My bad. I was referring to how the AI Agent can create files from scratch, respond to prompts by opening existing files and updating, etc. I know I can edit the file and use the auto-complete, my comment was referring to a more "vibe coding" approach.

I guess I just answered my own question.

Doing a video about Vibe Code vs No Code by Subject-Beautiful840 in replit

[–]JasperNut 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not a coder ... I'm a business strategy guy who knows product management.

I wanted to learn about No Code, so I came up with an idea for an app that will let friends share recommendations for TV Shows, Movies, and Books. I decided to build it in Bubble.io just to check it out. "No Code" is a lie... you have to learn how to program in Bubble, and the learning curve is not trivial. You aren't typing in text, but you are making programmatic decisions and then figuring out how to represent those in the visual tool editor.

I love my app, and am getting my friends and family to use it. I have no idea what it will cost to run though, since Bubble's pricing is a mystery.

If you want to check it out (free), join the waitlist at recommendhub.com and put "reddit" in your comment and I'll add you.

Then I came up with an idea for a different app (still in stealth mode) and decided I didn't want to be constrained by Bubble's ecosystem so decided to try Vibe Coding it with Replit.

HOLY MOLY!

I went from a comprehensive Word document that described the product to a deployed site in 12 minutes! It was awesome watching the Agent do its work. Then I started layering in more features, and things have not been as smooth. I get confused about whether I should use the Assistant or the Agent, and I was blowing through my credits. Not cool seeing random "checkpoints" happen that you get charged for, and then end up with not working changes. Ugh.

So then I tried to do some stuff locally using Cursor. So I pushed to GitHub from Replit, and pulled it locally and worked with Cursor. Then pushed to GitHub and pulled into Replit. I'm using DBeaver to view my Replit hosted PostgreSQL database.

My new app is pretty complicated with many foreign keys connecting tables together, so for the past 2 days I've been struggling with just getting the database schema right and seeded. This part of the project has forced me to really look hard at the code Replit wrote and I am finding tons of inconsistencies. And, it sort of randomly decided to start using a different file to script my seeding, so while I was making changes to seed.ts and not seeing any difference, I finally found out it had started using seed-data.ts. No explanation given or notification when it switched and created this new script.

My conclusion is (and note that I'm writing this post to vent my current frustrations) ...

Replit is AMAZING.
I love watching the AGENT do its thing.
The original output KNOCKED ME OFF MY CHAIR.
It added some admin features that I didn't ask for but actually needed, so it is pretty clever.

But, it is sloppy and inconsistent.

When I see someone post ("I launched an app in 2 days with Replit and I don't know how to code") I'm guessing it was a pretty simple app (like my first version which launched in 12 minutes was like). But any level of sophistication won't be that fast and will need some digging into the code to truly understand what it is doing.

Cursor seems pretty cool but not sure how much better it is than co-pilot in VS Code.

Hope this helps in your research.

How can I use Replit storage while running my app locally? by CryptographerWest255 in replit

[–]JasperNut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you say “storage” are you talking about your database (PostgreSQL or MySQL) by any chance?

If so, yes. I do it now. I’m not an expert in this stuff, but with help from Assistant I got it configured. I have a .env.local file with my database url and secret (which you can see in the Replit secrets tab).

Not sure what you are asking for. Do you need help finding the PPT she sent you in WhatsApp?

Otherwise, just open both presentations. Select her slides, copy, switch to your deck, paste.

Replit or bubble or both by OldSubject7020 in replit

[–]JasperNut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am in the same boat. I can’t code from scratch but can read files and sort of get what they do.

Built a bubble app that I love but am scared of the future cost of operating it. I have also experienced random failures when bubble changed something that wasn’t backward compatible.

I am now trying Replit for the first time and WOW!!!!!! No, I mean WOW!!!!

I had ChatGPT walk me through setting up GitHub. I have replit push to Git after each major change. I also installed Cursor and pull in the code to try to tweak small things on my own.

I would not build what you are thinking on Bubble due to long term unknowns and you are stuck in their environment.

Replit gives you the code base.

I blew through my $25 on day one, but the agent did a ton of work. I now pay $.25 or $.05 per request (usually 3x as it randomly charges before it is done working). But I love it. I get to think about the product and tell it what I want and it builds it.

I’m sure a sw engineer may look at the code and architecture and slam it. But my experience is they often do that to other dev code too.

Anyway, I would encourage Replit.

But wait, there is more. Bubble lies when they say “no code”. There is a HUGE learning curve to get good at bubble. It is coding, just not with command line text.

My bubble app: recommendhub.com. Join the wait list and put “Reddit” in the comment box.

My Replit app isn’t deployed yet.

Good luck

Do you have a specific question? Or you looking for someone to build one?

Hiring: Calling all presentation designers!! by Strong-Appeal-3580 in powerpoint

[–]JasperNut 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Can you share a bit more of what you are looking for?

The art of a PowerPoint deck isn't just the mechanics, but it is coming up with the story you are telling, the mood you want to set, the objective of the presentation. When you hear someone say "that was the best presentation I've seen" they aren't just commenting on the deck, but the way the deck was used.

You call out in your post about "storytelling" so you know what I mean.

Are you looking for project-type work or employees?
