pretty much my role at @cursor_ai most companies should have someone in this role rn
We are opening up a new role at Quora: a single engineer who will use AI to automate manual work across the company and increase employee productivity. I will work closely with this person.

Fortune wrote about something I've been building at Cursor! https://t.co/O8fQSYcmgP

The AI coding-assistant startup isn’t just using AI to help developers write code, it’s deploying AI across its own internal operations, CEO Michael Truell said at Fortune Brainstorm AI.

betting is not the same thing as gambling most wealth is actually won in a bet: - career: betting on the company/industry you spend your time - partner: betting this person brings you net happiness - index funds: betting US stocks keep growing like they have

can’t go back to slower models after composer-1 for frontend work, the lag actually cooks my focus
the best way to code right now: • @cursor_ai 2.0 • composer-1 for live coding • gpt-5 high for plan mode • gpt-5-codex for long-running cloud agents • best n-models for hard / ambiguous tasks

Parahelp has been such a joy to work with and become an essential tool beyond that - Anker's level of care has been unmatched

another day, another unknown variable reward
Robinhood's top growth tactic revealed "Humans love unknown variable rewards. Referring a friend got you one share of stock worth $10, and a small chance of getting a more valuable share. This experiment blew all others out of the water. So we started pouring fuel on the fire."

Interesting write up, a few thoughts 1. Why is no one doing AI audits for brands 2. Feels like photog attribution will become more front and center (ig caption directly) 3. Is AI just meeting our unquenchable thirst for content? The originals lived in magazines for months -
Those J.Crew images from the other day that evoked their old ‘80s and ‘90s catalogs are in fact A.I. generated. A Spyplane Exclusive Investigation, out now https://t.co/LhIIsdpUzg

We've raised $900 million in Series C funding from Thrive, Accel, Andreessen Horowitz, and DST. We're happy to share that Cursor has grown to over $500 million in ARR and is used by more than half of the Fortune 500, including NVIDIA, Uber, and Adobe. This scale will help us
