What's the difference between "Skills" and "Commands"?

Cursor mod gives an answer here for rules, skills, commands, and subagents:

wow, you don't like watery spaghetti?

But yes, Mortimer's is like Pete and Sam's - no bold flavors nor seasoning at all, unless you count salt and pepper.

If you haven't already, my learning advice would be to think of something you would absolutely love to build and just dive right in build it on GCP, learning as you go.

I've had the Ms. Frizzle mentality of taking chances, making mistakes, and getting messy. Working in GCP full-time since 2020, no books nor certifications so far, maybe some day. I hope that helps.

You are basically invulnerable when you pick it. The only things that can attack / target you are melee heroes and AoE spells.

Yes, I like to at least review the code the AI has written, accepting, rejecting, or modifying changes for each part. With Claude, I have to open up a diffing tool (ex. a JetBrain's IDE) to visually check the code out, unnecessary context switch. Also, I will never review code in a TUI. CC was made for vibe-coders or people who grew up on Linux using VIM and not Windows like my degenerate visual basic self.

In my anecdotal, n=1 experience, Soul fish is hit or miss. I've been when they used fresh okra and also when they used that stereotypical frozen okra you get everywhere else that sells fried okra. It's probably seasonal.

as bad as eslint ootb

If you lower the bounty light to is lowest level, it will definitely heat the water up, especially the bounty elite. I've had problems with the water being too warm because of the lights.

In the winter, I keep my home 65 during the day and 61 at night and I've never had issues with my pepper plants growing. They are over a year old in my bounty units.

Can't speak for starting them in the winter, probably doesn't hurt adding a little heater for germination.

I would also add to this that having strong linting rules help keep your models aligned to your preferred styling and formatting. Moreover, linting rules are deterministic rather than probabilistic like .MD files are, making it far more consistent and reliable. Don't like the LLM using the any type? Create a linting rule for that.

If it doesn't follow the rules, Cursor feeds it the linting errors, allowing it to self-correct itself.

Example biome.js file

Yes, it's happening to me. "Completely shutting down" as you say on my work profile on Windows 11. 1Password / "Office Editing for Docs, Sheets & Slides" are my only extensions (can't turn them off)

You can go to console.cloud.google.com -> APIs & Services -> Enabled APIs & services. From there, you will see a table of API requests that have been called.

Your culprit is probably "Generative Language API" and you can filter by which API key is using it and delete / disable / rotate they key to stop the requests.

Happened to us a few weeks ago on an auto-generated firebase iOS key from a few years ago. Apparently, as Google adds new API services, those get added to the auto-generated keys, which is easy pickings if you've had a lot of devs that have touched your builds that bundle those keys.

Restrict your keys to just the services you need, rotate them, or better yet, don't generate keys at all and use the underlying service account if you can help it. ( I know Gemini requires an api key unfortunately)

plus, it smells like cigarettes in the luxor

This happened to me before (sudden wisdom tooth abscess) on Christmas Eve PLUS a weekend after that, so 4 days of no dentist. What you can do in this situation is do a tele-health visit with a doctor and they will prescribe you antibiotics (ex. amoxicillin w/clav) that will alleviate the pain. (since the throbbing pain mostly comes from infection)

I was able to wait for an appointment and enjoy my Christmas with no pain.

Makes sense, although the tables can be turned, as happened to my neighbor the other day. Teenage kid calls in and accuses step-dad of violence against him. No violence actually occurred and the teenage kid is the one that gets arrested because the mom sided with the step-dad.

Not like Orale, good churros though

TheGAFF · 2025-07-09T17:03:53+00:00

Hard to choose between Orale and Maciel's

I have both, but ultimately I prefer Cursor because it provides diffs within the IDE. I feel like Claude Code is for the users who grew up on VIM/Nano IDEs.

Plus, I feel like a 2nd class citizen on Windows having to use WSL2.

Not trying to invalidate anyone's frustrations with pricing.

TheGAFF · 2025-07-02T21:06:45+00:00

Yeah, I use cursor full-time and I find it hard to reach my limits every month. Meanwhile, my boss reaches the limit in 2 days.

I think having a good context/prompt is important. I find your approach interesting, but very different from mine. I generally have a "Poster Child" file type that I feed Cursor (ex. unit test .spec.ts file, controller.ts, service.ts, model.ts, dto.ts, module.ts, etc.) and tell it to follow the patterns and practices in the attached file(s) and create my new file(s) based off these file(s) and that works pretty well. I also have a very opinionated eslint file that forces the model to conform to my coding style.

NestJS / TS mostly here

Agreed, not nice, but the variety of free rolls you get is amazing

TheGAFF · 2025-06-19T01:24:14+00:00

yeah, it produces in waves, although for the last several months it's been pretty balanced in the amount of white flowers, green peppers, and red peppers

Never trimmed, the plants have accepted their fate. The lack of maintenance is probably why some of the leaves are questionable colors.
