ANECDOTE

Learning To Code Out Of Necessity

  • JJ learned coding by forcing himself into Cursor when his partner left a project unfinished.
  • After two Cursor sessions he began to understand and complete the native features he needed.
ADVICE

Use GitHub As Your Single Source Of Truth

  • Create a GitHub repo for every project and use branches to work safely before merging into main.
  • Connect GitHub to hosting (Vercel/Cloudflare) so deployments run automatically when main changes.
ADVICE

Leverage Cursor Agents For Fast Iteration

  • Use Cursor's agent modes to plan, build, debug, or ask without writing manual commands.
  • Spin up a local preview so you can visually test changes before deploying.
