Cursor plus Next.js — I would not ship faster by skipping tests

How to use Cursor to build and ship a Next.js site faster without breaking production.

  • I would not let Cursor scaffold a Next.js app without reading next.config and env usage.
  • You should ship in small PRs even when the tool can change ten files at once.
  • If build passes and UX is wrong, speed did not help.

AI search opt-out rules — I would not click settings I have not read

What new AI search opt-out rules mean for publishers choosing visibility versus control.

  • I would not change publisher settings until you know which AI surfaces each control affects.
  • You may trade citation visibility for control, so I would model that risk on money pages.
  • If your lawyer did not read it, do not let SEO Twitter read it for you.

Cursor prompts — I would not type 'fix this' and hope

Cursor prompt examples that work because they include context, constraints, and done criteria.

  • I would not prompt Cursor without naming files, constraints, and what done looks like.
  • Your prompt should say what not to change, not only what you want.
  • If the model guesses your stack, you left context out.

Cursor Composer vs Chat — I would not pick one mode and never switch

When to use Cursor Composer versus Chat for coding, based on task size not fan debates.

  • I would not use Chat for a multi-file feature you could scope in Composer with tests.
  • You should switch modes when the task changes, not because one tab feels familiar.
  • If you cannot describe the file list, stay in Chat until you can.

ChatGPT for market research — I would not cite the model as a source

How founders can use ChatGPT for market research without building strategy on hallucinated stats.

  • I would not put ChatGPT numbers in a deck without finding the original source.
  • Use it to generate questions and interview scripts, not market size facts.
  • If the research changes your pricing, verify with real buyers.

Claude for coding — I would not trust the diff until tests pass

Best use cases for Claude in development work and the limits that bite teams who skip review.

  • I would not merge AI-generated code without tests and a human read of edge cases.
  • Claude is strong for explanation, refactors, and boilerplate you can verify fast.
  • If you cannot describe the bug, do not ask the model to guess in production.
