Recently I got the chance to share why @NotionHQ is the only choice for my team's shared brain: native multiplayer, enterprise security, built for external agents, and much more
Now you can get my shared brain setup in one-click: notion.com/brexton
Cursor is being opinionated about where they think SWE is going and I like it
It’s only been ~6 months but we’ve really sprinted from AI-IDE to CLI to background agents as the UX for AI driven development
Most folks will still prefer CLIs for the next 2-3 months, but very clear
The new link experience on X is actually insane? Super snappy, doesn’t take you out of it, and it feels like it’s super obvious in hindsight
Last time I felt this way about a consumer product UX was snapchat’s swipe to switch views
Incredible work by @nikitabier and the @X team
Anthropic has had the most significant AI product contributions for a lab by a long shot, almost charitably
Artifacts (text to app), MCP, Claude code (CLI) — they’ve innovated and created entire product sectors, and billion dollar companies are modeled after their creations

1. Composer is the first model that I’ve used that felt intentionally *crafted* for a person doing a specific type of work (coding)
2. In hindsight we’ll all look back in awe at how a company productized and “branded” the tab key
3. I’m rooting for them
We've raised $2.3B in Series D funding from Accel, Andreessen Horowitz, Coatue, Thrive, Nvidia, and Google.
We're also happy to share that Cursor has grown to over $1B in annualized revenue and now produces more code than any other agent in the world.
This funding will allow
Current takeaways from first 6 months living in NYC after having lived in SF:

- NYC is a better food city outside of Viet and Mexican food
- NYC is 10x more walkable
- Moving back to SF feels inevitable

In hindsight, absolutely nuts that a single startup (clubhouse) was able to get even the product teams at slowest/largest companies to ship clones at breakneck/historic pace (twitter, slack, etc)
