      Then you don’t know about software engineering and application layer implementation. VS Code and Windsurf is not even close. Do you even have software engineering background.😂

    i dont get the logic behind the valuation , what is their IP? the editor is the fork of open source vscode (microsoft) , the models they use are of 3rd party (google,openai,claude) , i only see that they are using some prompts that is good at sending the relevant code to the LLM and getting the answer and pasting it in the editor. which vscode(microsoft) can do anytime and kill this cursor,windsurf valuation overnight.

      dude u need to actually just use cursor and realize how powerful it is. no one cares about the system prompt under the hood. They created their own code caching mechanisms and AI agents built on top of LLMs that can rapidly scrape your codebase and chain together tool calls. This isn’t just another LLM wrapper, it can literally 10x ur productivity. Windsurf (a similar product) got acquired for 3 billion, but as far as I know that product is inferior to Cursor in many ways. It’s not as easy as it looks to make something this good.

    It’s absolutely hilarious that no one knows about this company. No one knows about his software, for that matter. If you do, you’d understand he’s literally gonna be famous for getting rid of coding. If not… NOW U KNOW!!!!!!!

    Let me get this straight. You made us pay to use your platfom: cursor, taking a peek at all our codebases and training on it including the code writing styles each dev takes. Then you decide to package (re: steal) it to create this “AGI programmer” Anysphere?

    Nice business model!
