Commentary
- Theo’s take on “Cursor just crushed Claude Code with Composer 2.5”
- This was about to happen as Cursor has the best data and focuses on Coding. Unlike Anthropic who loved coding initially, it has become a side quest which they think they are the crown holders for eternity.
- The speed thing is just crazy, I cannot be more happy, like its cheap, its fast, its cray smart too. If I can get work done in multiple iterations (and it takes multiple iterations to be honest, no model can 90% one shot it, no ways, models are just hallucination gimmick, the limited the context the worse the output)
- Speed might be double edged sword too, since it can produce slop 2x the speed maybe, because if something gets quicker and cheaper, it becomes very hard to resist using it again and again. But we don’t have the mental cognition, or bandwidth or capacity to review and understand what it just spitted out. So reviewing and evaluation and understanding becomes a bottleneck.
- But still its great to have this option of speed of low-level grunt work. Just to get it out of your way.For intense tasks, I don’t think developers would prefer this or any fast or dumber model.
