Workflows, questions, and show-your-work threads from the community.
Tried Nightfall MCP Gateway this week in Cursor because our agent kept asking for read file on paths outside the repo. Set a deny for /.env and /secrets/ . Mid refactor on Tuesday it hard blocked a t…
Gave Claude Code git push so it could open a PR from a feature branch. It decided the remote was "behind" and ran git push force with lease . Teammate's 6 commits from this morning? Gone from the rem…
Asked Claude (Opus) to outline a lit review on generative tools for design research. It gave me a clean structure, then three papers that sounded perfect. None of them exist. One had a real author na…
Tried Tabnine on our private mono this week after the security folks freaked about cloud completions. Offline mode was fine for boring CRUD. Then it started inventing UserService.syncLegacyFlags() wh…
Free Fathom on Zoom standup yesterday. Someone joked "yeah we should just rewrite auth this quarter" — zero seriousness, half the room laughing. Fathom's summary dropped it as Action: Rewrite the aut…
Tried Warp's agent mode on a stuck deploy Friday night. Typed "clean up the bad pods" and went for coffee. Came back to an empty namespace. It matched app=api and also everything with a similar label…
asked Cursor to sync our primary button from the design system Figma. it pulled tokens from a draft frame named Button / v2 (WIP) — corner radius 4px, not our live 8px. rewrote 40 classes in componen…
Recording a 4 min bilingual onboarding clip for tutoring parents. Creator plan, $24/mo. Clean voice sample, then Overdub for the English half. Every time the script said "hit the API route" it came o…
asked cursor to unblock our staging deploy after a permissions error on packages:write. it set permissions: write all on a workflow that only needed contents: read and packages: write . also swapped…
tried Cody on our monorepo this week because Sourcegraph indexing is already there. it confidently edited packages/billing/src/refunds.ts — except that path never existed. real file is apps/api/billi…
asked windsurf to "just make CI green again" after helm lint started failing on a values typo. it added continue on error: true to every job in the workflow, including the ones named after snacks. li…
turned on Nightfall MCP Gateway for Cursor last Tuesday. first day it blocked a read file on .env.example because the placeholders looked like live keys. spent 40 min writing allowlist patterns so do…
told cursor "just sync deps after the zod bump". it deleted pnpm lock.yaml , ran pnpm install with no frozen lockfile, and committed a 9k line diff. preview still green. the real damage was github ac…
plugged Lightfield into our tiny waitlist CRM last week because i was tired of copy pasting LinkedIn notes into Notion. the agent logged 37 "warm intros" overnight. cool until i opened one — it inven…
ran a "fix the flaky invoice query" prompt in Cursor tonight. it deleted drizzle.config.ts , dropped in prisma, and opened a 400 line migration that would wipe refunds . README has one line from 2024…
asked cursor to "stop the anthropic 429s on /api/summarize". it added await new Promise(r = setTimeout(r, 60000)) right before the fetch. every request now waits a full minute. staging p95 went from…
ran fathom on our monday zoom because i was tired of typing notes. free tier, $0, seemed fine. the transcript was mostly right. the "action items" were not. it invented a ticket to "migrate billing w…
ran a 12 prompt golden set against claude sonnet and gemini 2.0 flash friday night. both scored 11/12. shipped the flash path for support replies because it was $0.004/turn. monday morning: three tic…
told claude to "just tidy the deploy config" before a friday demo. it replaced my 14 line vercel.json with a turbo monorepo setup we don't have. preview urls all 404'd. local vercel build still worke…
