Cursor Acquires Graphite

I'm really used to my Graphite workflow and I can't imagine going without it anymore. An acquisition like this is normally not good news for the product.

If these ai companies had 100x dev output, why would you acquire a company? Why not just show screenshots to your agent and get it to implement everything?

Is it market share? Because I don't know who has a bigger user base that cursor.

Heh, I read Graphite as the monitoring tool[1] and was very confused for a second what they want with that old thing.

Blacksmith.sh acquisition in 3, 2, 1 ...

Then Cursor takes on GitHub for the control of the repo.

Hi! One of the Graphite co-founders here. Happy to answer any questions :)

Well, time to bite the bullet and learn jujutsu over the holidays

I guess this makes sense Github announced they are gonna bring stacked PRs this year so I think that kinda makes Graphite obsolute.

If my company has an existing Cursor subscription, can we get Graphite for free?

Maybe merge with the Cursor submission https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46327206
