This has to result in jail time for multiple people… right?

Sorry but this is so off topic. Does not belong here.

Can you elaborate please? Very curious to hear non-employee perspective

Th CEO is an attention seeking moron who used to spam HackerNews with job posts for his previous company (Skio) which got preferential treatment as a YC company. I wouldn’t pay any attention to this company.

Their original schtick was charging $10k to get on their waitlist, which clearly failed as now you can “get started for $0” per their website.

Grifter gonna keep grifting

Good to know this!

Wait - this is the same Denise Dresser that led led some uber-high-pressure Salesforce enterprise sales teams in 2010s? Something tells me you aren’t really sorry

I’m sorry but do people upvote things just because they’re Launch HN? The demo is meaningless, I looked through the docs and it doesn’t tell me anything about what kind of use cases or user journeys this product enables. I am so confused

This is my read as well

My tinfoil hat theory is that Cursor deploys a lot of “guerilla marketing” with influencers on Twitter/LinkedIn etc. When I tried it, the product was not good (maybe on par with Copilot) but you have people on social media swearing by it. Maybe it just works well for specific types of web development, but I came away thoroughly unimpressed and suspicious that some of the “word of mouth” stuff on them is actually funded by them.

I don’t think we should be encouraging tourism to an apartheid state like SL

I haven’t read through the code in detail but I can tell you “sub-nanosecond overhead” is misleading and marketing fluff. On first look, the measure seems to be some convoluted “time per thing” where the number of threads is far far smaller than the number of “thing”s
