People keep asking what tools I use. Here's the full list: **Editor:** Cursor (Composer for big refactors, chat for quick questions) **AI Models:** Claude Opus 4 for hard stuff, Sonnet 4 for everything else **Database:** Supabase (the auth + RLS combo is unbeatable for solo devs) **Deploy:** Vercel — zero config, just push **Payments:** Stripe — Claude knows it inside out **Monitoring:** Sentry free tier **What I don't use:** - Prisma (Supabase JS client is enough) - Redux (server state + Zustand for client) - CSS-in-JS (Tailwind all day) Total monthly cost before revenue: ~$40

I spent weeks frustrated that Cursor kept forgetting my project conventions. Then I found .cursorrules. Here's the template I now copy into every new project: ``` You are an expert TypeScript/Next.js developer. - Always use Server Components unless interactivity is needed - Prefer Tailwind CSS over inline styles - Use Supabase for auth and database - Never use any; use proper types - Functions should do one thing ``` The difference is night and day. Claude now writes code that actually fits my codebase on the first try.
