For the past year, we've been building a new format of async technical interviews focused on code review, system design, and RFC review. Building software today is a lot of REVIEWING ai generated code .. it’s surprisingly less writing code (especially for web development).

no shame in asking
Maybe we should just ask AI how many jobs it’s going to eat in the next 5 years.

true but also most founders think they're maniacal about recruiting when they're not. common problems: 1. you don't know what great looks like. recognizing great takes thoughtful research + volume of seeing great. 2. you apply insufficient brute force to the inputs. you should
I think it's probably as hard as it's ever been to build a talent-dense early stage team. The core dynamic is that options other than joining an early stage startup are more attractive than ever. Big companies are genuinely appealing places to work, mid stage companies let you

founders should probably take everything personally VCs who recommends otherwise probably care more about their DPI than the size of your outcome look up stories of bezos, jobs, gates, or even alexandr wang

more progress, made things faster + better curations of citations ... wiring it up to the rest of the app now so much polish but will be worth it

command+k was magical then and is still magical now :)
Experienced a neat moment with @cursor_ai shortly after my first use, definitely a smoother UX compared to the copy-paste routine with chat GPT

cursor doing as much revenue as figma already, actual goats
We've raised $2.3B in Series D funding from Accel, Andreessen Horowitz, Coatue, Thrive, Nvidia, and Google. We're also happy to share that Cursor has grown to over $1B in annualized revenue and now produces more code than any other agent in the world. This funding will allow
