Who the hell designed the tab bar of @cursor_ai ? Can you make the selected tab even less obvious?

Ever feel lost between beginner and intermediate tutorials? You're not alone. I hit this wall learning Python. The solution? Exploring multiple resources and filling knowledge gaps one concept at a time.

"You absolute idiot. Now think hard about why I'm yelling at you." This is my new favorite prompt when an AI keeps failing the same task. For my coding assistant (Cursor), this unhinged prompt breaks its failure loop and fixes the code correctly about 30-40% of the time.

I just found an absolute cheat code weather API: Open-Meteo. It’s free and no key needed. I went from discovery to pulling live data in under 5 minutes for a new widget in my app, ClarityDeck. This literally saved me a day of work. (UI work still in progress)
