I never use Cursor...

Good to know

Sonnet 4 is outdated. Sonnet 4.5 is a killer now. Opus 4.5 is even better,

I use two models inside Cursor (codex, gemini), in the terminal I use claude code .
and i use git worktree to work on the 3 different tasks in the same time

most of the time claude and codex fulfill all my requests

I mainly use Claude Code. Don't you think other AI tools are just wrappers of AI models?

Hey - anyone into building AI Agents ? Interested for my own business and potential collaboration.

As a founder you are more focused on revenue, customers, process to provide support, etc. The code and software become means to that end.

Cool! Related to what are you running tests currently?

I'm building quite a few!

Image, specifically OCR at the moment. But a bunch of other API integrations. Looking at Shopify, Amazon seller, some public data sets. And then agent building, deployment, logs, etc. on top.

Any recommendation on where to start if you want to get into building AI Agents and you don’t have any coding experience yet? 🤣

I think if you follow some tutorials for general python and then check the hugging face smolagent course it might give you a starting point.

Appreciate it!!

n8n is absolutely not trivial though

I would suggest not going the n8n way. Use a coding agent, like Cursor, Claude Code, opencode, etc. and start generating code for the ideas you have. An agent is pretty simple to start with. smolagent is a great suggestion. There are many such libraries.

Mine is more or less from scratch. You need a library to connect to the LLMs. Then start with a simple tool like list files. Basically the model will be told that it can request list files in current path. So it does, depending on the prompt. Your agent shares a JSON which has the directory file list (maybe recursive to some depth, you can add such parameters).

Thati's it, now you have an agent that can ask for list of files. Then add read files and now your agent is a file analysis agent!

Thank you Sumit, appreciate it!! 🙏🏼

Does anybody have a good read on setting up a mobile devices for scrapping automations? Need to be able to bypass fb bot detection/WAF on login.
Either with physical devices or if possible on a vm would be sweet.
🙏

i don’t have specific articles, but the setup is usually using Appium + UIautomator, use android phones, with root + ADB to connect/send commands, and have proxies to avoid being banned. beware it’s not very legal, but a fun challenge!

Sidenote: does this work for login pattern bruteforcing too? I have an old lineageos phone to which i forgot the pattern. Not really fond of trying all of them 😁

ohh that’s another topic! i am not sure how that works, I read once that old android versions can be jailbroken without unlock, but no idea 😔. you cannot use Appium if ADB has not been enabled on the phone!

It probably has

Awesome, sounds like a good starting point.

Probably should get a rig like this one https://phonefarm.vn/huong-dan-nguoi-moi-box-phone-farm/
😅

But also sounds like a lot to setup… account rotation, ip rotation, 2fa, usage behavior.
Bet there must be some cheap android farms with remote access.

hey, merry christmas! 😁, those rigs are beautiful, I looked some time ago for a project to get one, but it was over budget. I only needed to send messages, so ended up going with a SIM box. there must be some under reddit or forum to get more details on these farms 🤔

Anyone work overseas while hiding their location from their employer... when their job is that of a mobile app developer?

I've done mostly web development and DevOps in my career. Some of my jobs have known that I was globe trotting. When the job market became bad, I found it was best to just tell recruiters I lived in my US state of residence (or else they would hang up the phone on me). Then I'd do the whole travel router setup / no Wi-Fi or Bluetooth / no work phone or Slack on phone thing, and I was able to pull this off for long stretches of time without being "caught", even though I also avoided jobs that I knew would definitely have an issue if they found out.

Anyway, lately, I've been focusing on just building my own stuff, with the goal of maybe supporting myself with my own apps, monetized mostly via mobile users. Was thinking, if I don't have any luck with this, it might be nice to at least just get a job as a mobile developer. If anything, that would extend my runway on my personal apps. But I have a lot of concerns about mobile app development literally being my job, while at the same time needing to hide my location.

When I did the above trickery for hiding my location, occasionally I would need a phone app for something like 2FA. I would use a cheap Android phone, plugged physically into my travel router via an ethernet cable (you can buy adapters on Amazon), that was in airplane mode all the time, with no SIM card. Anyway, I imagine this type of setup might be tough as a mobile developer? What if the app you're working on specifically relies on GPS, Bluetooth, or Wi-Fi? I presume maybe they'd give you a company phone (can someone confirm that company phones are the norm for mobile dev jobs?), and in that case, there might be MDM. Anyone actually pull this off?

Just brainstorming a bit... there's a chance that literally all they track is the IP, which the above workaround would deal with. There are legal implications of an employer tracking your exact location without your consent, however, imagine the app you're looking on requires location permissions and puts your location in the database... people could see your location in the dev database. What about the idea of only testing your app on a simulator / VM? Maybe it's not super great, but in some apps, it might be doable. Or what about only testing on a device farm? Maybe convince your job you would prefer to to test your own code using something like BrowserStack... or if you want to do something borderline unethical, just sign up for your own subscription?

Open to thoughts on this, but especially, if anyone has experience hiding their location as a mobile dev.
