On Christmas Eve 2019, Michael Seibel, then CEO of YC, called me: “You might not be cut out to be a founder.” He was right. We had pivoted 20 times. I thought I could always return to my 7-figure quant job. That night, I realized: you commit or you quit. Fast forward: Motion

Now ready for deployment: @cursor_ai Delegate any Linear issue to Cursor, and a background agent will get to work. Once the task is complete, the Cursor agent will update the issue automatically with a PR.
