"Cursor and SpaceXAI are a deep cultural fit with one another. They both work with a pace and intensity that borders on the absurd. And they’re both defined by iteration."
"It doesn’t matter if you get it wrong the first time, or the second, or the third—even the tenth or the twentieth. Just keep on going. If you’re moving in the right direction faster than anyone else, you’ll probably win."
"Cursor reinvented itself as a company not once but twice: first, from email client to tab-complete IDE and token reseller; and again, from tab-complete IDE and token reseller to AI lab and token creator."
"And it did all of that in less than four years."
"They really, really want to win."
