30 billion dollar VS Code fork everyone. When we do start looking at these people for what they are: snake oil salesmen.
They slop laundered the FOSS Servo code into a broken mess and called it a browser, but dumbasses with money will make line go up based on lies. EFF right off.

- lifetimerubyist 9mo agoIt's absolutely absurd.
- ben_w 9mo agoWhen I tried it last year, the mac download of this particular VS Code fork was only available as an Intel build. This… was suggestive.
- ravenstine 9mo agoI recently was convinced by colleagues to try Cursor at work for project planning. At first I was excited for something even better than Copilot Chat, but then I quickly realized it's just a shitty VS Code fork with maybe a few improvements that are by no means a moat for that company. Worse yet, it makes lots of bizarre mistakes, deletes lines for no good reason, and sometimes even deletes the entire project plan. The scroll on the chat history gets laggy very quickly, and I've found the whole program to be glitchy as hell. The hype around Cursor is unreal. My suspicion is this company is little more than a parasite with no qualms about getting you to waste your tokens. It's one thing when a product is new, but Cursor has been around since 2023 I guess? The quality of their software is unacceptable.
