... Most startup founders I know don t ignore IRS forms, they just don t know they exist. Between 1120s, 5472s, franchise tax reports, and 1099 deadlines, it's easy to miss one. I ve seen friends hit with $10,000+ penalties over a form no one warned them about. So we built TaxHero: a smart assistant that shows you every deadline, reminds you, and helps you file the right thing at the right time. Think of it like your IRS

... Been checking out Cursor, an AI code editor that deeply integrates AI into your workflow. Think natural language coding, smart predictions, and asking your codebase questions. It's trying to push AI further than, say, VS Code (even with Copilot). I'm curious: How has Cursor's AI experience been for you compared to your current setup? Does a dedicated AI-first editor like this feel like a significant leap? Let's discuss! Comment from Abe Qarm(@abe_qarm): interesting ...

... everyone! Just wanted to share a quick update on my side project, Buildform.ai - a modern form builder we built as an alternative to Typeform, focused on conversion-first forms, smart logic, and AI-powered workflows. We did it the wrong way. Instead of launching early and iterating, I spent months obsessing over getting everything right bug-free, fast, production-ready. Honestly, I was shit scared it might flop. But turns out, people really appreciate a forms app they can rely ...

... honest, I find Cursor s VS Code experience quite uncomfortable. However, the fact that it runs seamlessly within my codebase is what keeps me from abandoning it. That said, if Copilot were to offer the same level of integration, I don t think I d continue using Cursor.

Comment from Victoria Wu(@victoria_wu): @andres_vlaeminck  It s interesting to hear that you found the 3.5 version to be more proactive in offering alternative solutions.

You essentially answered your own question: Regulation is why it's now hard for startups and small and medium businesses to operate in Europe.
