It's not black and white. It's reasonable to assume Cursor isn't trying to screw you over and you don't need to audit their code. It's also reasonable to assume some of the arbitrary 3rd party extensions are tryin

I mean yeah I see what you're saying and that does add important nuance. It makes me more sympathetic to the user that got screwed.

No. I trust Cursor isn't trying to screw me. I don't trust random 3rd party extensions. They might be trying to screw me. This is the exact reason why I don't touch npm. I'm not prescribing a formal set of rules by which

Yeah no that is how it works. I want people to release cool software without the insane burden you describe. If they want to delegate that burden to users or ask them to pay for someone else to assume the burden, great. I love Cursor. The

Cursor is off the hook in my system of ethics. If you're running code without reading it, that's on you. The exploiter is evil. Cursor has no culpability here.

I'll continue to do whatever the hell I want. I consider the first month a huge success to get in that order of magnitude, certainly "well on its way." See you in three years. I'll reach out.

I just don't understand where this attack is coming from? What did I do? I have nothing against you

by gametorch 1y ago
How? Show me the numbers. Within one month of launching I'm already less than one order of magnitude away from that MRR. Why are you so obsessed with how my business is doing?

by gametorch 1y ago
I have gotten serious traction. I hit the front page of Reddit multiple times and people are signing up to pay me while I sleep. I am well on my way to $10k MRR. I am already cash-flow positive. People would rather drag you down in the hol

I think you have a super good point. Cost of anything that is purely driven by code is falling like a rock now. I don't have an answer to this question. I don't have an answer to the moat question. Best guess is some sort of &qu

That's the double-edged sword aspect of AI: these models are commodities so you can expect to very cheaply build almost anything out of code as the price of code generation gets driven down to zero through competition. But so can anyon

yep but I triple checked it, of course I also had two different LLMs audit the codebase pre launch and once every so often.

Just raw SQL queries via the rust sqlx crate. I think ORM is harmful in 2025. In rust, you can get compile-time SQL syntax and type validation; it won't compile if the corresponding columns, tables, etc. don't exist. Combine tha

I dictate all the database schema so it can one-shot the rest of the tedious nonsense, like analogous struct types, db getters and setters, etc. I basically just architect the solutions and it implements it for me.

I guess sometimes I have to do some minor debugging myself. But I really haven't encountered what you're experiencing. Early on, I realized that you have to start a new "chat" after so many messages or the LLM will becom
