I am out of the loop with Cursor. Did they make their own LLM model or do you mean they just capture what is being sent to other models and that is valuable?

What is crazy is that they just didn't roll back. Even if they had lost a ton of users surely they could have kept at least 30% and built on that for the next few years.

Your post only makes sense if we consider a person who wishes to switch careers.

Also, how are the following relevant in terms of switching from coding to a different career path? "change the world, raise a family, travel the world".

Why spend years gaining programming skills to throw them away? Sure there will be some overlap with "learning to program with more than 2 hands" but at the end of the day a managers skills and responsibilities are different to that of an engineers.

To me coding is a process to get to an end result. Since that enables me to create and use my imagination, I love coding.

In work, if I'm not working on something that I like the end result of, I don't love it as much. It just feels like work.

I love this analogy. I had a conversation with someone (a non-tech person) recently.

Them: What are you doing?

Me: Making a website

Them: Why?

Me: Just am.
