Once again, abusers are penalizing the majority @Google added a limit on extensions per account Then you have to request a limit increase (not guaranteed they will accept) I guess that's what platform risk is all about...

Looks like @Microsoft is using @Tracer_AI The request is fair, the @GitHub is in the title... and that because it downloads only GitHub repositories, not repositories from many other providers That's equivalent to saying: "let me Google it" Should I appeal?

After spending months using only Claude Code and Codex Going back to Cursor is like going back to the caveman era One work session used up the entire limit of the month Meanwhile Anthropic and Codex have 5h window limit resets Hope they do something with Cursor Grok

Shipping unfinished work should be illegal! I would fire Claude if it would be an employee. It just stops working halfway when limits are reached. That's one of the things I love about Codex: It finishes the job (even when limit is reached!)

My biggest fear each month

Biggest weakness of Claude Code: It can't create visual assets well This is where Codex beats it It can leverage GPT Image

Biggest mistake people make with AI Assume they are proficient with AI after asking "make me an app" You're not a writer because you know how to use Microsoft Word There's A LOT more to it

Businesses that think it's a good idea to have a voice menu instead of dialing numbers got it wrong You have to listen to the whole audio, you can't interrupt, and they don't have consistency of indicating when it's the time to speak Adding "fancy tech" is not always the answer

What people going on strike doesn't understand is they are hurting the wrong people As usual Japan knows best: Instead of disrupting the service, they make it free to anyone This is how you hurt the people you negotiate with Service continues, no one pays, they lose money

People may think llms.txt and .md pages are useless But... I disagree! It's extremely helpful to know what pages to scrape to extract full documentation LLMs.txt as sitemap and .md files as direct export into a single file Then, import that file in NotebookLM Thank me later

POV: A user cares enough to fill out the feedback form, but not enough to tell you how to fix it nor give you a way to contact them But, why?

000

Hugo Hamel @hugohamel.com · 13/05/2026

Weirdest thing when you build something is when people tell you it's not working and doesn't give you feedback Yet, you use it on a daily basis, works fine I'd love to fix it and make it work for them, but if they don't help... You can't fix what you don't know needs fixing

000

Hugo Hamel @hugohamel.com · 16/04/2026

You know you made it when you have people that simply leave 1 star reviews and give no feedback. Some people are just here to hate... Others will help you help them (this is the way!)

2 of my extensions have been exploding lately 🚀 All that changed was: I started commenting on some Reddit or forum posts where the extension would be relevant Looks like sprinkling some "marketing magic" can go a long way 😎

Hugo Hamel @hugohamel.com · 02/02/2026

Agreed! Definitively the most efficient person to have in your business. Hire me 🙋‍♂️

I'd be curious to know what's the real percentage of accounts who actually send the content of their "like + comment" posts

Very interesting to see how people on each social media platform reply Some seem to have lost basics of being civil and go straight into attack mode Others seems to show openess to healthy debates or constructive feedback AI seems one of the rare to remain civil at all times

Stack Overflow used to be THE PLACE for code solutions AI arrived and now it in full decline, capable of running on a $5 VPS Lots of people are using GitHub to store prompts and code Do to think GitHub could suffer from the same story, and decline due to its own success?

Cursor IDE once dominated Claude Code entered the market with minimal impact on Cursor Codex faded, and Antigravity is now rising Recently, Cursor made poor decisions, leading to frustrated users Since, their growth has massively declined while Claude Code is now dominating

n8n v2 just dropped People can't get over that it now has an auto-save feature n8n is not for everyone, it's still quite technical If you're someone technical, you should already be used to spamming CTRL+S We all have "trust issues" with auto-save 😅

Anyone going to the Web Summit next week?

Hugo Hamel @hugohamel.com · 03/11/2025

73 days ago, I was hoping to celebrate 1.5K users Then a massive drop happened... Today I am celebrating 2K users 🎉 The secret: - Stop obsessing over the metrics to avoid negative energy - Focus on continuously improving the Cursor Usage extension - Share the improvements

You know you made it when a recruiter has to say: "Please do not use AI tools during the interviews such as Cluely for instance as we have the possibility to detect it ;)" Cluely was only founded in April 2025 Since then they: - Raised $15 million - Advertised in Time Square

Will coding change to have frameworks that are AI friendly rather than have knowledge of it?

Cursor is expelling thousands of users from their Student Program Using SheerID as third party to validate students, it is unable to validate anyone's ID They only onboard .edu emails (which is a reserved domain for the US schools)

Any SEO expert can explain this? - No change was done on my end in the last days - Impressions went down - Position went up If position goes up, then impressions should increase, no?

Real talk: I've been a ChatGPT ride-or-die since day one. But lately? I've been leaning more and more towards Gemini Google is absolutely catching up to the AI game And honestly, it's quite good! Anyone else doing the same?

What if governments allow individuals to deduct essential expenses (eg. rent, groceries, etc.) on their tax report at the end of the year? Exactly like businesses do, allowing them to pay less taxes. Shouldn't what counts be what is left in your pocket at the end?

Cursor Rules were the best things that happened with AI. It forced us all to create our own set of parameters that worked best for us and represented our coding style. Now, I can use it in any other IDE than Cursor without issues.

While Microsoft is innovating like a European I'm installing these self-hosted open source solutions: - Plausible - Uptime Kuama Next will probably be OpenReplay on its own VPS.

EU should have required all browsers to have predefined cookie settings: You could decide which type of cookies the browser automatically accept or refuse. THAT would have been MUCH more useful than cookie banners. Sadly, it seems EU prefers to target individuals each time....

Google just released their new image model: Gemini 2.5 Flash Image (aka nano-banana) The most impressive part of it is how well it can maintain context. It can blend multiple images into a single image while keeping character details consistently.

People have been "demonizing" new technology Each time people say things like: We used to say the same thing about computers, the Internet and smartphones. The truth is, it's not about the one thing, but about the whole of it.

How often do you entertain negative comments? Thinking of starting a new thing Instead of "Blocked for AI reply" Would do a "Blocked for negative reply" No one should tolerate toxic people in their life

AI is slowly making us accept mediocrity more and more It's creating a generation of dopamine addicted users that's can't think by themselves Creativity and resourcefulness outside of AI will take a toll People with the drive of being tenacious will become a rare thing
