If you want to see an example on how having the very best AI model and harness doesn’t result in better/faster execution - in fact it slows you; It took the Claude Code team 16 months LONGER (!!) to add support for AGENTS.md than OpenCode & Codex, 12 more vs Cursor Quoting @trq212 We're adding support for AGENTS.md to Claude Code. Starting today in version 2.1.277, if there is no CLAUDE.md in a folder, Claude will check for and use AGENTS.md. You can toggle this behavior in /config. Anthropic Related

When playing games on niri I noticed some games don't lock your mouse cursor to your monitor. I didn't want to use Gamescope so I stumbled upon a way to do this natively in niri without needing any tools. This post provides a general purpose solution. nickjanetakis.com

ok everyone, i took one for the team here's the data we all wanted to see - real token value of each LLM subscription, empirically measured through usage on my real subscriptions - supergrok heavy has now become the highest value at $12k worth of tokens (40x ROI) - the $200 plan from openai and anthropic roughly give the same amount of token value, $7k give or take - cursor ultra's ROI is the lowest among mainstream subscriptions, roughly half of OAI or Ant. for individual consumers i'm afraid this no longer makes sense to purchase this was done in a clean environment. i ran each provider acr… LLMs Anthropic Related

I asked Grok Bot product lead @romanugarte_ why they built a new stand-alone app vs. building it into Cursor "It was not obvious at all. We saw what some of our competitors doing this, adding new tabs for each new form factor. People can feel that this was not a single, consistent vision of the way that work should work. It's kind of a shipping your org chart style thing that users are reacting negatively to. And so we decided, let's just start completely from scratch." Quoting @lennysan Grok @Bot is the hottest new AI product in the world right now. I'm absolutely hooked. It all started a few months ago as a tiny team holed up in a separate part of the office, building from scratch. Four weeks after the first line of code, the whole company was obsessed.

From the outside, Cursor shouldn't have worked. They compete against the most well-funded and fastest-growing companies of all time, and *sit on top* of those same competitors to power their product. WAT. I asked @romanugarte_ (employee #15 at @cursor_ai) how Cursor pulled it off. Roman's answer: They didn't focus on moats. They obsessed over building something useful today. 👇 Quoting @lennysan Grok @Bot is the hottest new AI product in the world right now. I'm absolutely hooked.

Yesterday I worked for ~20hs with my agents using Cursor and Claude and when I moved to sleep time I turned on the "autonomous" skill to all my agents. Today, checking the work done, almost 40% was blocked because reasons and when I ask they say "Sorry, my work was left unfinished..." Weird... computation outage? Anthropic Related

La suscripción de 5x viene rindiendo, pero no estoy seguro si con el cambio del -17.5% de sesión vaya a estar bien. Pensando en probar Codex, veo a todos disfrutando de esa fiesta. Estamos en un mundo donde estar Token Maxing con una suscripción dejó de ser suficiente, ahora necesito 3 (Claude, Cursor y al parecer también Codex). 💸 English, from Spanish The 5x subscription is paying off, but I'm not sure if with the change of the -17.5% session it will be okay. Thinking about trying Codex, I see everyone enjoying that party.

And I think that Cursor has at least so far more distinctly chosen a lane. Like they're more distinctly choosing to be a for programmers. And that may limit how far they get in here.

Their words
so it's not a simple matter of programming it's not you know typing into a keyboard until or or I guess asking cursor to do something until a piece of software emerges, it's exploration, it's discovery, it's posing hypotheses and validating or invalidating those again and again and again.

Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said.
The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in
korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who
