What you are referring to as "no different than what most have done" is training on public data. What Cursor did is

1) Fork VSCode and pretend that they made some kind of "AI IDE"

2) Fork a Chinese model and pretend that they trained their own model

Company with zero moat and terrible products that keeps lying to everybody

It's a good thing. I hate MCPs from the bottom of my heart because they always stay there and bloat the context window. Also, usually developers who develop them don't know what they're doing, so the MCP responses also bloat your context even further.

For how long can you use Claude Fable on most expensive Anthropic subscription? I already went from using gpt-5.5 xhigh fast to using gpt-5.4 xhigh after OpenAI halfed usage recently.

I saw a comment on HN a while ago. I don't remember exactly how it was worded, but roughly it was something like: if you are self-taught (which I am), you will have to do many shitty jobs before you get a good one. That is how I think of my situation. I am still doing shitty jobs, but I think that the shittiest ones are already behind, and if I had not taken them, I would not be where I am now.

you need to bring others up around you as well

I am not 100% sure what you mean here, but I don't think that I have the authority or reputation to "bring up others." I find that telling other people what to do is futile, and the best I can do is leave them alone and let them learn from their experiences, or else you might be labelled a "rock star," which is coincidentally being discussed on lobste.rs right now:
