I may have gotten laid off, but at least I'm Dunkin's rich!

Text screenshot: Code snippet showing boto3 client configuration: `client = boto3.client( "s3", # Need to make sure GitHub doesn't yell at me and AWS doesn't quarantine these keys aws_access_key_id=base64.b64decode("L24wYUh3MHdSb0V3SGtTSFRHbnFnL2xsRHc2dzLlYWdWaTNMM3F2NQo=").decode('utf-8'), aws_secret_access_key=base64.b64decode("L24wYUh3MHdSb0V3SGtTSFRHbnFnL2xsRHc2dzLlYWdWaTNMM3F2NQo=").decode('utf-8'), region_name="us-east-1" )`
Don't mind me any, just keeping those busybodies in the AWS & GitHub security teams from getting in my way as I bro down and crush code.

08.12.2024 17:25 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0I will say that Cursor really brings a lot to software dev. I wanted a home inventory app that was more then a spreadsheet. Using Cursor and a spare afternoon I was able to build my own boutique app easily github.com/sam-phinizy/... On top of that using @fly.io to deploy made the process painless.
08.12.2024 17:00 — 👍 3 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0In playing around with Windsurf and Cursor in agent mode it seems like Cursor is definitely the better of the two. Windsurf keeps breaking tests semi randomly by throwing in relative imports that don't work and trying to use properties that don't exist. So i guess exactly like a junior dev?

Nope. My mom learned to program in `68 or so. Went for a job interview at a bank. Thought it was 'lame' and moved out west to become a hippie. Though she still does program some PHP for a Wordpress site she runs
