Congrats to Cursor! This is a large number. Of course it's great that they could fetch it, but it's a good reminder that codegen is capital constrained today (v expensive to run)
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

Read Jobs or Musk or any biography, they trade off being a good dad for lots of their success. Fuck that I reject it
The side of Steve no one talks about: Steve was asked at the end of his life if he had any regrets. Jobs said “I wanted my kids to know me. I wasn’t always there for them and I wanted them to know why and to understand what I did.” He was then asked if he was glad that he had

I spent the last 60 days working at Cursor. It's been one of the most thrilling phases of my professional life. There's a lot of mystique around the company. Over the last two months, some things matched my expectations; many did not. I wrote an essay for @joincolossus

It's too easy to found nowadays. Instead of getting Jobs + Wozniak, we're just getting a bunch of solo Steves

Hard agree.
For early-stage startups, viral marketing is often a mistake. The same goes for heavy paid marketing. You might get a lot of views, but not the right ones. What usually happens is that you miss the true early adopters, the people who would actually love your still-in-progress

Somehow I feel the opposite is true. Everyone is storytelling. Few are actually building.
Storytelling is one of the most underrated skills in tech. Everyone’s building. Few can explain why it matters.

Hey @GetSpectrum you're blocking some core Mocha domains, degrading the experience for all of our users. I can't seem to find the right support channel to discuss how platforms should work with you for distributing many customer apps on the same root level domain. Can yuo help?

Very political environment, which fits the facts.
From Ilya’s deposition— • Ilya plotted over a year with Mira to remove Sam • Dario wanted Greg fired and himself in charge of all research • Mira told Ilya that Sam pitted her against Daniela • Ilya wrote a 52 page memo to get Sam fired and a separate doc on Greg

The obsession with long running is really weird. The only metric that matters is did it complete the task and how hard was the task. If it’s long, that’s worse than if it’s fast. This is typical mid level PM following a metric without understanding the true problem.
