Built my first ever web app in Cursor in 1.5 weeks

Hacker News - Tue, 11/12/2024 - 2:24pm

Hey HN,

I've spent a considerable amount of time witnessing others building impressive things with Claude, GPT, Cursor, Bolt etc. As a non-dev I decided to give it a shot and build a full stack web app using react/resend/and supabase. I tried to learn programming for years but never was fully able to commit due to getting hung up on syntax and logic in different languages.

Over the last 1.5 weeks, I used Cursor to build an AI agent directory that can take submissions and emails, with a full front and and backend.

It was pretty eye opening. I can truly see that everyone will become a creator with a unique personality applied to different crafts because AI reduces the barrier to execute. The whole notion of remix culture from software will be really exciting.

Anyway, during the build I did encounter some challenges configuring the database in regards to image loading, so I hired someone from Upwork to help push to production.

I plan to continue adding submissions until I reach 100 agents and discover new features along the way.

I’d love to hear your thoughts or suggestions on how to best build with Cursor/AI and improve a site for loading speeds. Also if anyone has built a directory before would love tips.

Design inspo was from Mobbin, ShadCN, and V0!

Thanks for reading!

New Relic Layoffs Continue

Hacker News - Tue, 11/12/2024 - 1:19pm

As many expected when PE took the company private, New Relic continues to do batches of layoffs as they move engineering to India and outsource their infrastructure to AWS.

Latest round announced today. Best of luck to those impacted. For those hiring, there's a lot of great talent hitting the market.
