alt Hacker NewsThis post is far more interesting than many others on the same subject, not because of what is built but because of how it it is built. There is a ton of noise on this subject and most of it seems to focus on the thing - or even on the author - rather than on the process, the constraints and the outcome.
Thanks, means a lot. As the author of one such article (that might have been the catalyst even), I'm guilty of this myself, and as I dove deeper into understanding what Cursor actually built, and what they think was the "success", the less sense everything made to me.
That's why taking a step back and seeing what's actually hard in the process and bad with the output, felt like it made more sense to chase after, rather than anything else.
