Got some feedback on the UX of Bitgrain Studio from the users, it really needs some UX improvements and redesigns. Let's see where it goes : )

SpaceX acquires Cursor for $60B — biggest startup exit ever in just 4 years?

Just saw reports that SpaceX acquired Cursor in an all-stock deal valued at $60 billion.

This is one of the most insane startup outcomes we've ever seen:

  • Cursor was founded only ~4 years ago.

  • The reported price tag would make it one of the largest startup acquisitions in history.

  • It went from "just a VS Code wrapper" jokes to becoming the default AI coding tool for a huge number of developers.

  • SpaceX/xAI would instantly gain access to one of the most valuable datasets in AI: how millions of developers actually write, edit, debug, and ship code.

We're an AI-native startup shipping fast with augmented coding, but the debt it creates is different from anything I've seen before.

I remember in my old team we put aside around ~20% of engineering time to pay down debt that accumulated during feature releases.
