Meta will never be able to compete ecosystem wise with Apple or Google/Android

why is it the best? what's the differentiation to Devin?

Does anyone even use Cursor still? I loved it during the tab era but ever since they tried to catch up to agentic workflows, the product experience got worse and worse

i can't believe they straight up ripped the design from Muse

I think the issue with this type of product is it creates an N+1 source of truth for teams alongside their other tools. Inherently, this will get out of date as a project progresses. You could have an agent update based on changes, but that would likely degrade the design doc/artifact into unintelligible slop which wouldn't be useful in the future. This is a behavioral/structural problem of software design in general, which I don't think can be solved by software. Perhaps if this is mainly focused on collaboration at design time, but then that begs the question if teams will really want this tool versus using Notion, Linear, Google Docs.

I think “software factory” just means automations where bots pick up tickets and spin up code changes. Maybe Stripe has that many well defined bugs but there’s no way it works if you’re building anything remotely complex. There’s just a lot of nuance that agents cannot pick up

show me an example and what do you mean by real money?

Depends what you mean by distribution, they are spending an arm and a leg on paid acquisition

This is just a bet that the models will get better and that all the half baked never seen production Lovable apps will be able to be brought life because of that. I am fading that bet personally and am bearish on non technical people building software

if you've tried to legitimately productionize LLMs to deliver a specific repeatable outcome, rather than human editable output(text, code), you know the models still aren't there yet and the whole product experience feels hacky

Would Cursor tab assisted code be considered AI generated? I feel like that was the epitome of AI assisted but quality code

Everyone is building these same looking apps that look like Codex, Claude desktop. We don't need these. Slackbots work more than well enough to collaborate with agents.

Building from ground up using OpenAI Agents SDK. We already have custom in house Cloud Development Environment, so the effort is just to "agent-ize" though which is not small. That's why I feel any team with any sort of infra support likely won't buy your product, since they already have the tribal knowledge to set this up. Newer teams might. But overall porting people's dev envs into the cloud is a tarpit problem(IMO), I was interested in this space too but decided against it for that reason. Happy to be proven wrong though!
