BREAKING: Cluely CEO officially responds to TechCrunch




Cursor scaled to $29B without any full-time PMs. Ryo (Cursor's Head of Design) walked me through how they work and it's the opposite of every big tech best practice: 1. Roles are muddy PM work is spread across designers and engineers. Everyone does what fits their strengths and uses AI to fill the gaps. 2. Most designs start with code directly Ryo barely uses Figma except for initial exploration. Most features start as live Cursor prototypes because "it feels more real than pictures." 3. No annual roadmap theater Just a "fuzzy direction" and features shipped to concentric circles (e.g., staff, nightly beta users, consumers, enterprises) to polish. Ryo also showed me exactly how he designs and codes new features using Cursor and how he avoid creating generic purple AI slop. 📌 Subscribe to watch our full tutorial tmr: @peteryangyt?sub_confirmation=1" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">youtube.com/@peteryangyt?s…









The maintainer of libxml2 put it very well







At a past company, the head of engineering and the principal engineers decided to break our Ruby on Rails application into a Go microservices mesh. They created very detailed design documents and architecture diagrams. They went all out and used Kubernetes, gRPC, service templates, the whole shebang. The whole senior engineering leadership came from Amazon, where they were used to each team owning a distinct service. They tried to apply that model directly. But our issues were with code ownership and poor domain modeling. The entire application could have run on just a handful of EC2 instances. What was the result? Five years later, 70% of the application is still running on the Ruby on Rails monolith. Never completed the migration. But now they have to maintain two systems. None of the original leadership works there anymore.
