𝗖𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗼𝗿 𝗶𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗵 $𝟵.𝟵 𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗼𝗻. And suddenly — everyone wants to use it. 𝗕𝘂𝘁 𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲’𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘁𝗿𝘂𝘁𝗵: Cursor is just hype. It’s like Perplexity — looks shiny, but no real edge. Built on VS Code. No moat. No long-term play. Big tech (like Microsoft or Amazon) will crush it sooner or later. So don’t rush to add it to your workflow just because everyone else is. Instead, focus on tools with real staying power: → GitHub Copilot → Claude Code → Or go full open-source Because paying for a closed tool that’s built on open-source tech? That’s not smart. That’s not the future.

Says the guy who doesn't even code. Cursor was and is still the best coding tool and if you want to vibe code, then you should have it. Claude Code is better and you can use that too. But GitHub and all? that terrible. Also remember, that Just because something is made by a big company, it's not always good. Google's Ai services are an example of it.

what you are saying is absolutely true it's just a hype until and unless ai learns itself by minimising input data if ai is able to generate more than getting more that's where this tech would shine

it's easy to judge but hard to build. investors are not dumb to invest their money to the valuation of 9.9 billion dollar .

Phenomenal product, but i think it’s one of those products which are an example set to the generation. It’s like what mistakes they make will make the next big ai coding platform

Who said we need moat and control. Vercel is running on AWS. Most db offerings are on cloud you think they got moat? just need to provide what users want nothing else. spicy take for no reason. You got no moat

GPT-OSS feels like the right move. Open source isn’t just about code access, it’s about freedom to build and truly own what you’re creating. With closed models, that’s always been limited. This opens up a lot. Feels like the start of something good

big breaking: microsoft just turned VS code into an AI-powered open source beast with github copilot built-in. basically, your code editor now judges you silently… and still writes better code. so… do we still call ourselves developers or just pro
