Totally get where you’re coming from with the 'endorsement culture'—it’s easy to overhype a product just because a big name is behind it. But I think tools like Cursor actually help a lot of devs, not just because Lex Fridman likes it, but because they improve workflows. They might not be ‘the show,’ but they’re definitely part of what’s driving the evolution of how we work. Even Carmack’s influence is part of how we build modern tech, no?
I agree on your first point, but even Lex Fridman endorses Cursor, so not sure why you're so negative on that.
