I am hearing tons of complaints from Cursor customers at enterprise companies:
A silent change put almost all models Cursor uses behind Max mode. Devs who used to manage to “spread out” monthly credits over a month see all of it used up in 1-2 days. Are furious + switching.
Dennis Ritchie created C in the early 1970s without Google, Stack Overflow, GitHub, or any AI ( Claude, Cursor, Codex) assistant.
- No VC funding.
- No viral launch.
- No TED talk.
- Just two engineers at Bell Labs. A terminal. And a problem to solve.
He built a language that fit in kilobytes.
50 years later, it runs everything.
Linux kernel. Windows. macOS.
Every iPhone. Every Android.
NASA’s deep space probes.
The International Space Station.
> Python borrowed from it.
> Java borrowed from it.
> JavaScript borrowed from it.
If you have ever written a single line of code in any language, you did it in Dennis Ritchie’s shadow.
He died in 2011.
The same week as Steve Jobs.
Jobs got the front pages.
Ritchie got silence.
This Legend deserves to be celebrated.
The Codex team are hardcore builders and it really comes through in what they create. No surprise all the hardcore builders I know have switched to Codex.
Usage of Codex is growing very fast:
@jackccrawford@mattpocockuk This is what I did, my own version of clawd 🦞 just did this when I used Claude, I could have multiple sessions/agents I just tracked the id, cool thing is everything gets a history etc
Can I get some questions answered by someone at Anthropic?
1. Can you use an OAuth token generated from a subscription to power the Claude Agent SDK strictly for using Claude Code in a local dev loop?
All I want is a more reliable API for parallelizing multiple Claude Code's.
2. If I build an open source tool that relies on this pattern - i.e. for making parallelization easier - can I distribute it so that other people can use it?
The reason I'm asking is that the legal compliance docs and @trq212's public statements (below) appear to contradict.

I'm thinking cursor CLI is awesome now, also copilot, and I have zed. Chat gpt plan is too big no smaller plan, so cursor $60/m sounds like the best overall deal
You like Zed Industries? Their early work (Atom) was a little too new wave for my taste. But when Zed came out in ’21, I think they really came into their own, technically and artistically. The whole GPUI layer has a clear, crisp execution, and a new sheen of consummate professionalism that really gives the product a big boost. They’ve been compared to VS Code forks, but I think Zed has a far more low-level, GPU-driven approach.
