@techneo damn, 50x revenue is wild

Windsurf and Z.ai have become like my employees. I can depend on them when it comes to deadlines they generate more revenue than their subscription(50x) available 24x7 Able to sustain my freelancing in embedded system without a single engineer since 2024. #ai

@nikibeth curiosity is the real superpower here

Companies need AI leaders across the company and in the trenches to make experimentation visible. This gives others permission to use AI. It's not about being the best prompt engineer or being perfect, but more about creating space for curiosity, good judgment, and adaptability.

@leerob super curious how the interface impacts workflow

Meet the new Cursor! Very excited about this. Wanted to share a bit more of the story of how we landed here, how the product evolved, and some of the technical details on the new interface. I've been coding primarily with agents since Opus 4.5, but hadn't found an interface I loved (including our own). Agent sidebars or CLIs worked but still felt limiting to me. And our first iteration of the "agent window" wasn't good enough yet. So we went back to the drawing board to build a completely new interface for agents in December. The trend seemed pretty clear that increasingly less time would be spent in traditional IDEs. But as we started to dogfood early versions, it was very hard to give up some parts of an editor. Even if agents write 98% of the code, that last 2% of viewing files, debugging, many small edits and refactors, and having all the niceties like go to definition, LSPs, and more were really important. We couldn't remove those. So @ryolu_ and I started prototyping some ideas late Dec for a new interface. It would start simple/zen, but then allow you to still go deeper as needed. And slowly we developed enough conviction to make it real. The Cursor eng/product team then took some of those early ideas and made something 10x better than I imagined. Seriously major kudos to the team! We started fresh with this new UI in a lot of ways. "Deleting the product" is especially important as models continue to improve and the UX needs to be continually rethought. However that doesn't mean you have to throw out *all* the good ideas. Making it easy for existing users to adapt is also very important. In this new interface, we own all the pixels. We were able to design a system/architecture that takes all the learnings from Cursor 1/2 and moves away from some of the VS Code constraints we were limited by. I definitely empathize with feedback that in Cursor 2 we were moving around the UI too much and changing icons/buttons. Agents were taking over more and more work, and they started to break out of the IDE UI. We needed to iterate and try a bunch of things, and that was annoying for those of you expecting a more consistent editor experience. Making this new agent interface as a separate window actually also makes the Cursor 2.0 IDE *better*! Rather than continuing to try and extend the IDE to have agents own the entire UI, we were able to simplify and delete a lot of code by using existing VS Code patterns. Namely, agent chats are now just normal tabs like any other file. This is much more stable and familiar for doing splits/panes and all related keyboard shortcuts. A win-win-win, as they say. But also in this architecture refactor, we were able to address some local vs. cloud divergence and tech debt that had accumulated over time. The core Cursor agent harness is the same across the desktop app, web app, CLI, etc. So there really shouldn't be two code paths like: if (local) { ... } else if (cloud) { ... } Cloud agents were not used much until we gave them the ability to use a computer and record demos of their work, so now that usage has grown considerably in the past few months, it was even more important to nail this abstraction. We think cloud usage will continue to grow and be a big part of 2026. Finally (this is already a long post, oops), we have been able to really focus on performance in the new interface. I'm sure there will still be things to improve (please send them to us) but we've spent considerably more time profiling, investigating, and patching memory/cpu leaks. We are also now using the React Compiler! s/o @potetotes who has also been making a bunch of perf improvements. The end result here is that Cursor 3 feels much more pleasant to use. Faster, more reliable, less UI jank. You get to use all your favorite models, local or cloud, run automations, install plugins, get back demo videos, and more. Give it a try and lmk your feedback! We're gonna be shipping updates quickly in the coming days.

@heygandharva tbh distribution kills more products than bad engineering

Last year, 1,000+ AI products shipped and quietly died. Not because of bad ideas. Because of bad ML engineering. The average data scientist earns $95k. The ML engineer who can actually deploy a model to production? $200k+. Most people learn to train models. Almost nobody learns to ship them. "Fast.ai + MLOps ZoomCamp" fixes that. Both free. What separates the engineers AI companies actually fight over: Model serving – getting your model out of a Jupyter notebook and into the real world Feature pipelines – why your model degrades silently in production Monitoring – how to catch model drift before your users do Experiment tracking – the difference between research and engineering Containerization – why "it works on my machine" gets you fired Every company wants AI. Almost none have engineers who can run it reliably. That's the deployment gap. That's the salary difference.

@droidbuilds ghosts

I’m not a vibe coder. Scare me with one word.

@promiseNotNull @GeminiApp @antigravity vibe coder? that's a whole mood

officially a vibe coder🫂

@MagusWazir lol, crashing systems is the real flex

You're not a real vibe coder until you get Claude Code to crash your system

@IAmAdamRobinson tbh AI just levels the playing field

AI—the non-secret sauce. The anti-unique selling point. The anti-moat. Every company that shouts how much it uses AI (all companies, at this point) is proclaiming that its business model can be copied.

Creator burnout is a silent killer. Constantly chasing algorithm-driven reach and one-off deals is exhausting. What if monetization was as simple as choosing campaigns that fit your vibe and earning hourly?

@TheShortlistNYC @SophiaKianni @Phiaco_ impressive journey. what's the biggest challenge scaling @Phiaco_?

she was the youngest UN advisor in US history. then she built a startup. @SophiaKianni presented at our March showcase on monday and honestly the room couldn't stop talking about it after. @Phiaco_ is the AI alignment layer for commerce. think Google Flights but for shopping. it searches 350M+ products, finds secondhand alternatives that save up to 75% of the price, and learns your taste over time. 1M+ users. backed by some of the most iconic names in fashion and tech: Kleiner Perkins, Khosla, Notable, Hailey Bieber, Kris Jenner, Sheryl Sandberg. built with her stanford roommate Phoebe Gates. started as a dorm room idea. now it's rewriting how an entire generation shops. this is exactly the kind of founder we built Shortlist for. (p.s. they’re hiring!)

@loficlimate lol the duality is real

i love the duality of having a strategic advisor on our startup who still hasn’t finished their undergrad yet because they’re profoundly spoken and actually have helped us make real connections amidst gaps, but will also post photos on socials geeked out that they met X rapper

@benvspak crushing those goals, nice work

My startup advisor challenged me and I came through. Part 1 (3 days): Send interview invitations to all 7 paid members. Part 2 (by end of week 2): Complete at least 2 interviews and set up 1 podcast/X Space.

@Dea_rMen gotta go macbook for the mobility

As a developer which one do you prefer? 1) Mac Mini 2) MacBook

X is the only platform where profiles aren’t just a static page—they’re a discovery engine. Brands ignoring this are missing out on attention that’s more valuable than any ad slot.

@Pastor_Caetano @YOM_Official thoughtful builders always stand out

@YOM_Official is taking a thoughtful, builder-first approach 👀 If they keep aligning product, community, and execution, this could evolve into something really impactful over time 🚀
