No, I'm not in the SPLC files.
He's got a really good way to select.
Oh, my God.
I think it might be tough depending on the users.
One of the things that makes Cursor so good is- Wait, wait, wait.
So I think that the different developers want to have choice in that sense.
There's a toggle.
So one of the things that's really good about Cursor is they've got this very well built out IDE, this application layer that puts them probably from a UX perspective, meaning developers are using the tool
above Codex, above Claude, above anything else.
You can use a third-party IDE and integrate the models or integrate whatever other third-party service you're using.
But I would imagine that the developers are going to want to
continue to have at least some choice on what's actually writing the code for them.
The thing that people are waking up to in the last 120 days is just how much of the value of AI is being realized by writing software.
And we've kind of got this wrapper term, we call it agents, but agents are fundamentally just quickly spun up applications.
But for all of them, as we're realizing very quickly, you end up making too many agents.
They end up being super inefficient.
They need to be engineered.
And you still need to have a strong software engineering capability and competency to fix all the agents, to build all the harnesses, to make everything work well together.
And that's why having a strong developer environment, a strong IDE, actually solves that biggest problem.
So eventually, all the enterprises that are getting hot and heavy on agents are going to be like, whoa.
