My New Role – Helping AI Adoption at Cursor / / No Comments This will be a short and sweet post to announce that today is my first day at Cursor!

My blog is built with the Eleventy static site generator. It’s a mix of JavaScript and Markdown primarily, with a huge portion of the codebase being Markdown and not ‘code’ per se, but me rambling on about cats and Star Wars.
