Having issues with Codex saying “You’ve reached your codex usage limits for code reviews” wrongly and this is exactly the problem with AI support - I went through the chat box once, got a human finally who said I had to go back through the chat box. Then the chat box closes itself as duplicate.
OpenAI support telling me via email to open another ticketAuto closing the second chat

Insurance companies sending out “your year in review” brochures is some dystopian shit

Volunteering at Pinewood Derby for my Girl Scout troop + service unit in Ankeny today - and of course I’m still on the computer 😛. It’s incredible what a few volunteers and some elbow grease can pull off. Thanks to everyone who showed up early, hauled tracks, and made it a great day for the kids. 🙌

I think I may be talking about something else. For example, here is the Service Bus aspire resource. Even though it’s not started, the sql edge container that it requires starts anyway.

No slide decks. No status meetings. No “stories.” And somehow, working software (and hardware) still happened.

The amount of scummy mail you get when you register any business is insane. At the VERY bottom of this paper does it say that this is actually spam. The envelope looked very official too.
A piece of paper describing, in fear-mongering terms, how a business must post labor law posters or face fines. At the bottom is text explaining it’s an ad.

How it’s going
guys, i'm under attack
ever since I started to share how I built my SaaS using Cursor
random thing are happening, maxed out usage on api keys, people bypassing the subscription, creating random shit on db
as you know, l'm not technical so this is taking me longer that usual to figure out
for now, I will stop sharing what I do publicly on X
there are just some weird ppl out therei'm shutting down my app
Cursor just keeps breaking other parts of the code
you guys were right, I shouldn't have deployed unsecured code to production
I'll just rebuild it with Bubble, a more user friendly and secure platform for non techies like me
I appreciate everyone for the support in the past 2 days
not quitting so easy

How it started
“my saas was built with cursor, zero hand written code

AI is no longer just an assistant it’s also the builder

Now you can continue to whine about it or start building

P.S yes people pay for it”
