I'm not founding a startup marketing itself as "Cursor for X" and collecting my riches.
I've been doing live video for a decade now, I like it, and it's nice being an expert at something.

But, if you're not using tools like ChatGPT, Copilot, Cursor, etc., in your day-to-day work, then you're dumb.
They're the new Google, the new Chat Overflow, etc.
