And because of that… I’m addicted. And in this video I’ll show you how I’ve learned to use it to get INSANE results.
It’s certainly not perfect – I still prefer oTToDev/Bolt.new for creating my initial frontends (great synergy there btw), and you still have to have a lot of technical knowledge to truly build something “production ready”. But it’s already saved me HOURS and HOURS of coding, which gives me the time to build on top of what it creates to make my projects super high quality!
How do I go about doing that? Well in this video I cover some tips and tricks that have helped me get the most out of Windsurf! These are pretty specific because the platform is very intuitive overall, but I hope that these can help you truly get the most out of this incredible technology!

Artificial Intelligence is no doubt the future of not just software development but the whole world. And I’m on a mission to master it – focusing first on mastering AI Agents.
Join me as I push the limits of what is possible with AI. I’ll be uploading videos at least two times a week – Sundays and Wednesdays at 7:00 PM CDT! Sundays and Wednesdays are for everything AI, focusing on providing insane and practical educational value. I will also post sometimes on Fridays at 7:00 PM CDT – specifically for platform showcases – sometimes sponsored, always creative in approach!
