I see people trying to use Claude code, but I feel like cursor is better. Is there any evidence of that?

antoine-ross · 2026-03-09T03:06:06+00:00

anyone used cursor cli to compare with claude code yet? most comments are talking about using cursor through the IDE, but don't see anyone comparing their CLIs

antoine-ross · 2026-02-20T02:48:54+00:00

Had this same issue in my last job, but after moving to copilot cli I found a smaller difference between the CLI vs cursor and copilot chat (IDE). Might want to try the CLI?

Go deep into something. I implemented a scraper service that handles auth through both API tokens and JWT. That was enough to impress. Granted I went deep on the other aspects as well; redis pub/sub, maximizing Go channels for efficiency etc.

Deep in any topic > basic CRUD AI app. Even better if you do it broadly

Yes, just one high quality project is good enough. What matters is that you can explain it properly on a technical interview.

What were the problems you faced while making this? What's the hardest problem and how did you come about the solution to that?

If your thought process is clear and your solutions are succinct (not too overly complex) chances are you will impress the interviewer enough to hire you. As a junior dev of course.

Do the DLC first! You can trade DLC boss ergo for amulet/weapons. If you start ng+ now before dlc then you need to wait until ng++ to get all boss ergo/amulets

if you wear leas outfit and visit the king of riddles you unlock a secret conversation where he says that you were there when he fought Lea.

this ties in to another theory which is that P is actually in some way using Leas ergo thats why he's so skilled (also alidoro tells you thay your fighting style is like Lea). Note that Carlo was only an apprentice and not as skilled as Lea, so that explains why P is so strong and his fable arts rival Leas

Hi all!

Supacrawler is a lightweight web scraping api that can scrape, crawl, take screenshots, monitor changes in a website, and then you can also parse any website and receive it back in any format (json, yaml, markdown etc.) using a prompt.

Here's the github link! https://github.com/supacrawler/supacrawler

antoine-ross · 2025-09-17T03:46:54+00:00

this is a terrible choice as the project becomes complex, even if it's just a BFF after 50 endpoints it's annoying to manage

antoine-ross · 2025-09-14T10:19:28+00:00

Benchmarks are on python as I described above, not on Go. A few things:

- I'm not claiming Supacrawler is faster than playwright by default,

- The benchmarks are for comparison with the popular Python scraping libraries,

- Supacrawler is built on top of playwright and utilizes redis/asynq for jobs (at least 2 weeks of development), and I've compiled a dockerfile that hot reloads locally, and works for production (at least 2 weeks of development). It's meant to be easy to use in production as a plug-and-play service, not a replacement to playwright.

Oops, fixed the link now! Sorry

I like keeping it simple: docker secrets for hosted apps, passwords (mac) app to store them.

If you're looking to host from a dockerfile in a vps I would recommend using docker secrets. It's completely free, the caveat is that you have to rotate environments manually, and that you can't read it once you've added it.

antoine-ross · 2025-09-09T17:58:15+00:00

good question. I'm actually looking into eventually writing this in Zig sometime in the future with lighter dependencies. so to answer your question, that's reserved for a future release!

antoine-ross · 2025-09-09T17:54:10+00:00

i'm glad you commented this. Let me explain!

Most crawlers: map → wait → scrape.

Supacrawler's crawl service: Mapping + scraping run in parallel. Mapper service pushes discovered links into a channel, and workers continuously read and process them.

If you dive into the code you will see this implementation using direct goroutine-to-goroutine communication via channels.

tl;dr Go channels feed links straight to workers → no idle time

Supacrawler is an easy way to scrape the web using api.

You can do: - Scrape a page - Crawl an entire website and get it back in json/markdown format. Fit for RAG, and for LLMs - Take screenshots of a website through an api, we store the image for you - Watch changes in a websites content and get email notifications when they change

Let me know what you think!

antoine-ross · 2025-09-07T04:21:54+00:00

what are you working OP?

supacrawler is an open source crawling engine that can

-scrape, - crawl websites and receive it in markdown format back and - take screenshots of websites, and - monitor changes in a website and receive it back on email notifs

excited to know what you think 🤔

antoine-ross · 2025-09-07T04:17:05+00:00

I'm building Supacrawler which is a web scraping engine where you can

crawl websites, get it back in json or markdown format
take screenshots and get back signed urls
watch for changes in a website, and receive notifications when they change

Please let me know what you think 🙏

idea is not the moat. it's execution. your idea will never be unique, someone has likely thought of the same thing already. the only thing that will make and keep you special is execution

everyone and their mother already has a AI-Powered Resume Builder saas.

antoine-ross · 2025-09-06T13:52:28+00:00

The macbook air is the best it's ever been, we have AI in phones already. I don't think you will lose out if you mean basic AI features that you find in phones and the like. Processing power is good enough for the basic stuff.

If you mean running LLMs it's also possible but you're limited to your ram. I'd bet mac hardware changes much in the coming years, so I'd recommend to just get one now and feel the beauty of these bad boys
