New Cursor office is now open

This has been said a thousand times before, but allow me to add my own voice: the era of humans writing code is over. Disturbing for those of us who identify as SWEs, but no less true. That's not to say SWEs don't have work to do, but writing syntax directly is not it.

@benln Waiting for Cafe Cursor in NYC!

Cafe Cursor in Madrid

@jonathanzliu That’s true, well developed products always find their users.

the dumbest thing founders do is worry about openai/apple/google chrome killing their product like bro 1password is literally a default macbook feature it made $400 MILLION last year

@ycombinator @constspace @KamranMajid11 @raaidkabir @laithaustin @omeedtehrani We need more space startups

Constellation (@constspace) predicts satellite network failures before they happen and automatically reroutes traffic in seconds—no human intervention, no data loss. Congrats on the launch @kamranmajid11, @raaidkabir, @laithaustin, @omeedtehrani! ycombinator.com/launches/P9f-c…

@_devJNS Coding is a craft that needs to be learned independently.

CES will never hit its peak.

Sounds like a true

The best of today
