It’s hard to overstate the reputation of the author of this post. Everything good about GitHub’s internal systems seemed to have his name all over it (I realize that today this statement hits different than a few years ago). Our times at GH didn’t overlap much but hearing the fact that he’s working at cursor increases my estimation of their engineering org by leaps and bounds.

- bakies 1mo ago* spent tokens on this
- solid_fuel 1mo agoAn LLM would have produced a more interesting and better formatted insult.
- rbtprograms 1mo agoits literally elon getting mad and making an account calling people cock suckers
- figmert 1mo agoBut OP is the loser for leaving a comment.
- throwitaway222 1mo agotired of this
- newspaper1 1mo agoWell, there's going to be a lot more of it. You can't be an outright ultra-right wing racist and expect that it doesn't cause brand damage. It never made business sense for Musk to act the way he does, but he couldn't help himself. Do not expect people to just be ok with it.
- mlnj 1mo agoThere's a reason you say that with a throwaway account. Even you know it's shameful.

- ryan_lane 1mo agoIt's probably Elon Musk.

- croes 1mo agoJust like with climate change, the problems Elon creates don’t go away just because people are reminded of them. He still pushes his agenda, he still has lots of followers who believe his nonsense

- jmuguy 1mo agoCursor isn't covering itself in glory regardless. The flagship app is getting enshittified at a surprising clip. It constantly pops up and interrupts your work pushing new features, changes your model to whatever the latest Grok is without prompting, has this mystery meat UI that is constantly changing, pushes cloud agents in ways that are definitely designed to trick you. We're actively looking at alternatives, I wouldn't touch anything this company produces from here on out.
- vindex10 1mo agoCame here to share a related fact :) This solution with WAL and compact resembled the database internals as taught by Martin Kleppmann. I asked Claude about this observation, and learned that the author (Vicent Martí) wasn't only core Github developer but also worked on Vitess from PlanetScale. So no surprise these two contexts resulted in the design of Continuity as it is. https://vitess.io/ https://vitess.io/ - Vitess is a database clustering system for horizontal scaling of MySQL.

- vendiddy 1mo agoWe're talking about MSFT here. I think they can afford whatever Cursor can. They're just not taking reliability seriously.
- jbs789 1mo agoIt’s a different game. If you’ve got tonnes of employees you have to think about how all the other employees view comp fairness. Every large co runs into this problem. New cos have fewer obstacles to paying more… until they get big.
- actinium226 1mo agoIf he has such a good reputation, why doesn't he write well? He never actually introduces the point of the article, he merely alludes to it in the concluding paragraphs.
- rdevsrex 1mo agoSeems well written to me.
- realaaa 1mo agothanks for the comment ! will read that now however whether or not this improves their team - who knows! team dynamics is a hard thing to achieve, not just throwing good people in the same bucket ..
- froh42 1mo agoAuthor or not - I just get a shitty machine translation of the original post into German. This is so annoying, machine translated stuff is much harder to read than the original English. Oh, and yes the preferred language in my browser is set to English.
