Remember the engineering

Hey peeps. This is for all teh baby promptgrammers out there. When your writting apps, connecting tio backend databases, sending API calls all over the place , and created it all in Cursor or Claude Code, just take a second to stop and think 'Whats that one thing that is bugging me?' Then dive into why it is bugging you.

9 times out of 10 if you think something isnt quite right with your app, then something porobabluy isnt right with your app.

I have just done a major bit of refactoring (Using Cursor). I am writting a membership app for a client and its all running fine. calls are being made data is being saved etc. It is just that when i click the save button on recoed, that 'saving' text just stays there for a bit, lets say 1-2 seconds. Its been grabbing my attention for the past few hours so i just dug in asked Cursor what was going on and why it was taking so long. ii have now gone from db writes taking 1.5s down to low tens of milliseconds.

The app is so much more responsive and USABLE!! 1,5 secs is a long time to be looking at a record being saved and that time saving is what your client wants, along with the value your app brings.

Keep engineering
