Wow everyone on HN seems very out of touch with Cursor.
Their UX on their agents only window is quite good and on par if not better than Codex and Claude desktop apps and it still has quite a good bit of subsidization especially with Composer 2.5 being on par with Sonnet at the very least. They're also growing tremendously this year to 4B ARR recently on track to go higher before EOY.
With the hiring 1111 interns thing, I think these companies (amazon as well) need to realize this is doing anything but inspiring confidence in those interns. Instead of being excited about going there, more of them would opt to go elsewhere instead of returning full time, or if they do return full time they'd be in fear of being let go next.
Woah very cool, yeah I think the cards and heading/subheading structure is very similar to what codex outputs, but I can tell the different visualizations definitely require your own personal touch
The big loss for Anthropic here is how it reveals their product roadmap via feature flags. A big one is their unreleased "assistant mode" with code name kairos.
Just point your agent at this codebase and ask it to find things and you'll find a whole treasure trove of info.
Edit: some other interesting unreleased/hidden features
- The Buddy System: Tamagotchi-style companion creature system with ASCII art sprites
- Undercover mode: Strips ALL Anthropic internal info from commits/PRs for employees on open source contributions
Was experimenting with it but it felt like it'd have higher latency, and it seemed more feasible to do eyetracking on a single screen than across screens, especially with different webcam layouts and stuff
the what's next section acts novel but all of them have been achieved or created in some format already: you can run a local llm on a phone and connect it to a agent
