- ▶ 23:33 Alessio Fanelli The only, when I did the Figma to cursor, the only thing I got wrong was the border color.
- ▶ 34:08 Dylan Field And if you look at the way that people work, whether it be with Cloud Code, or Cursor, or Warp, or whatever, so much right now is, like you said, you need to have some expertise about how software is built.
Amp: The Emperor Has No Clothes
- ▶ 3:38 Quinn Slack First, it started with Copilot, and then, Cody, we were really good at Chatrag, and then Cursor and Windsurf showed that kind of IDE forks and partially agentic things could get better and better, and then, you know, the next generation,…

- ▶ 1:18:23 Scott Wu If you think about a lot of these Q&A products, if you think about, you know, writing marketing copy or answering customer support or even GitHub Copilot and Cursor and products like that, you know, obviously very, you know, a lot of these…
- ▶ 1:43:07 Alessio Fanelli Because I think when we did the, the cursor episode explain, then everybody on agronews is like, oh, why, why did you fork?
- ▶ 2:49:58 Kevin Hou So unlike other editors, like cursor, the elephant in the room, our agent is deeply integrated into the editor, and we'll talk about what exactly that means, but on one half, you can imagine an agent has to understand what you're doing.
- ▶ 3:47:31 Shawn Wang And then I think the other, the other thing is that we're, what we're seeing is, is I think they're setting up, they're setting up to be an epic clash between Cursor and Cognition. 2 times in the scene
AI is Eating Search
- ▶ 23:00 Robert McCloy I mean, I think that if you're, uh, if you're like a cursor enthusiast, I think many of us have had the experience, for example, of being like, this thing keeps hallucinating methods in my code, I probably should just implement them
- ▶ 33:50 Robert McCloy I think I need to solve this problem, and maybe I will, to being like, I'm actually in the middle of trying to solve it inside, you know, chat to VT, or cursor, or what have you, right, depending on what you're doing.

⚡️Warp 2.0: the Agentic Development Environment - Zach Lloyd and Ben Holmes
- ▶ 19:05 Zach Lloyd And so this is very similar to like cursor rules. 3 times in the scene
- ▶ 21:42 Zach Lloyd I think it's actually better than, like, Cursor's agent.
- ▶ 25:16 Ben Holmes And that just feels like the natural next step from using like tap, tap, tap inside of cursor with super Maven, where I'm still looking at the code.
- ▶ 29:40 Zach Lloyd I think the sandbox one's the easiest, which is like, we're local right now, like in a very similar way to like cursor windsurf.
- ▶ 35:56 Zach Lloyd Cursor moves. 3 times in the scene
- ▶ 39:55 Alessio Fanelli I think even in cursor, you have like the model picker and people are like, Hey, look, I just always want the best model because I'm paying the monthly thing.

ChatGPT Codex: The Missing Manual
Claude Code: Anthropic's CLI Agent
- ▶ 6:57 Boris Cherny Yeah, I guess it coming back to code, this kind of approach affected the way that we built code also, because we know that if we want some product that has like very broad a product market fit today, we would build, you know, a cursor or a…
- ▶ 7:46 Alessio Fanelli So obviously I use cursor every day. 3 times in the scene
- ▶ 11:57 Shawn Wang There's the cursors of the world, there's, like, the devins of the world, there's aiders, and there's Cloud Code, and you, we can't try everything all at once.
