Never underestimate how much time and effort you can waste by trying to automate a process you do not understand manually.

.@sama 's victory might be short lived but at least there's one. On the other end .@satyanadella has such bad PR from PRs like github.com/microsoft/vsco… that kills trust on the only product public trusts from him: .@code Copilot needs to be spun off if it wants a future.

Before the world knew the power of Big Pharma, a journalist in a tiny lab in Bombay created a substance so potent it triggered a trade war with London. It was a yellow grease that did not just soothe headaches but funded a movement, bypassed British blockades, & became 1 of the few Indian products to make the Empire's own medicine look like scented water. Unlike other brands started by chemists, Amrutanjan was founded by Kasinadhuni/Kasinathuni Nageswara Rao, a man who was primarily a journalist & a freedom fighter. In the late 1800s, the pain balm market in India was a British monopoly. If your head throbbed, you bought imported ointments. Rao saw this as a tax on pain. He retreated into a lab & perfected a formula that was significantly more potent than anything coming out of London. The British tried to push their own balms like Vicks/early menthol rubs as sophisticated & odorless. They attempted to smear Amrutanjan as primitive because of its overpowering scent. Rao leaned into the scent. He realized that in a country where literacy was low, a brand could not just be a name, it had to be an experience. He distributed free samples at music concerts (Sabhas) & religious festivals. By the time the British tried to patent the market for pain relief, the entire Indian public had already associated the smell of camphor & menthol with trust. The British balms felt alien & weak compared to the sensory explosion of the yellow tin. The smell of Amrutanjan... that piercing, camphor-heavy aroma became the literal scent of the freedom struggle. If you walked into a room & it smelled of Amrutanjan, it was a silent signal: A patriot is present. It was a scent the British police could not arrest, yet it was everywhere. The British had a Patent Medicine Tax that made imported drugs expensive. However, by classifying Amrutanjan as an Ayurvedic Proprietary Medicine, Rao managed to navigate a complex legal gray area. He essentially used the British legal system against itself. By proving his ingredients were ancient yet his manufacturing was modern, he avoided the crippling taxes that applied to purely Western drugs, while maintaining a price point (initially 10 annas) that made British imports look like daylight robbery Rao fought back not just in the market, but in the press. He used the profits from the balm to fund Andhra Patrika, 1 of the most influential anti-British newspapers. The British were literally paying for their own downfall. Every time a British officer’s wife bought a jar of Amrutanjan for a migraine (because it worked better than the London balms), she was inadvertently funding the printing of revolutionary literature that called for the end of the Raj. By the 1930s, this Indian yellow grease was being exported to Indian diaspora & locals in South Africa & Ceylon. It became a global symbol of Eastern Wisdom defeating Western Chemistry. It was 1 of those few occasions, an Indian OTC (Over the Counter) product achieved cult status internationally w/o a single pound of British investment. In fact, the yellow tin became so iconic that it did not need a label in the villages. The color & the smell were the brand. It was a biological Swadeshi. While others were fighting with words, Rao was fighting with molecular relief.

Elon is funding cursor, after grok didn't deliver on coding. It won't die financially. But it is already down as a product.
kaize@0x_kaize

CURSOR AND COPILOT ARE ABOUT TO DIE developer spent 3 months testing Claude Code, Codex and Cursor in parallel, the result? he exhausted the Cursor usage quota in a couple of weeks. then you sit and wait or pay extra while Claude Code and Codex reset the limits weekly. for the same price and here's the question that no one wants to ask out loud: why are you still paying for cursor or copilot when Claude Code and Codex give you the same amount or even more? this isn't just about pricing. this is a survival question for entire companies think about it: - Cursor, Copilot, and Windsurf all resell other people's models with a wrapper - Anthropic and OpenAI sell THEIR OWN models directly - and do it cheaper It's like trying to compete with a factory by buying parts from the same factory what should actually scare these companies: - Claude Code runs straight from the terminal, no IDE needed - Codex from OpenAI - same thing - both reset limits more often - both evolve faster the developer literally asks: 'is there even room for another coding agent in this market?' and the honest answer is - probably not we are witnessing a classic scenario: platforms devour their intermediaries Claude Code did the same thing without subscribing to a separate editor I'm not saying that Сursor will die tomorrow. but if your business model is to resell someone else's API at a premium, you should be nervous the question is not 'Cursor vs Claude Code', but: how many months do wrapper companies have left before model providers take over the entire market?

Both. You need to be a hacker and an "engineer".When you are engineering, after you are done hacking,you need clarity and writing things down brings clarity.When it doesn't, you seek inputs from colleagues that can help build clarity.Big companies need alignment for other reasons

Spec-driven development makes very little sense to me. The software development industry has repeatedly shown that devs don't like writing docs, often saying "it's tedious and time-consuming; I'd rather be coding". - How will this turn out to be different? - Why automate the fun part (coding) and force devs to write docs instead? developer.microsoft.com/blog/spec-driv…

Here's a pain point of mine for you vibe coding junta (people) to solve. My phone Google keyboard swype is fucking dumb. It doesn't understand the context and my patterns. Forget about truly personalized completion. .@satyanadella does Microsoft keyboard solve this? Doubt it

Keeping a record of breaking the non profit agreement and contemplating dealing with Elon, I mean, if you as a co-founder are that dumb, you and your company is fucked. You know how the saying goes, nice guys ....

Just wrapped our quarterly earnings call. We are focused on delivering AI infrastructure and solutions that empower every business to eval-max their outcomes in this agentic computing era. Our AI business surpassed a $37 billion annual revenue run rate, up 123%. We are at the beginning of one of the most consequential platform shifts that will change the entire tech stack as we move from end-user driven workloads to workloads driven by end-users and agents. This will drive TAM expansion and change the value creation equation across the entire economy. To capture this opportunity, we are executing against two major priorities:
