Cursor became obsolete pretty quickly as Claude has improved. Good on them to find an out before they collapsed. $60 billion is a huge overpay.

The jobs they worked turned into capital which is where their leverage comes from. So it's still applies.

For a frontend developer? What is there to scale? The app is already done.
