<p>I love this train of thought. Code quality is critical, but I don’t think we’re correctly evaling it at the moment. If we could get solid benchmarks measuring the quality of generated code, we might see the models climb those benches fast.<p>I believe that the era of “ai writes tons of slop code” will be a stepping stone in the longer story, and is simply a current gap in the reward functions.<p>Per the author - if we can get strong measurements of what good code is, we can train against it and close the gap fast. Excited to see more thinking in this area</p>

<p>Love using MCP, working on adding it as a first-class surface to products I’m developing. Agent experience is becoming as important or more than user importance for some products. Big fan of AgentCat and other tools for applying MCP observability - can't improve what you don't measure</p>

<p>I really like all these ideas - very similar to what we discuss internally! We need to iterate our way there, but working with Cursor makes some of these visions much more possible</p>

<p>(Re-sharing some thoughts I posted on other HN thread)<p>Hi all! Graphite cofounder Greg here. I’ve been asked a few times so far why we decided to join.<p>Personally, I work on Graphite for two reasons. 1) I love working with kind, smart, intense teammates. I want to be surrounded by folks who I look up to and who energize me. 2) I want to build bleeding-edge dev tools that move the whole industry forward. I have so much respect for all y’all across the world, and nothing makes me happier than getting to create better tooling for y’all to engineer with. Graphite is very much the combination of these two passions: human collaboration and dev tools.<p>Joining Cursor accelerates both these goals. I get to work with the same team I love, a new bunch of wonderful people, and get to keep recruiting as fast as possible. I also get to keep shipping amazing code collaboration tooling to the industry - but now with more resourcing and expertise. We get to be more ambitious with our visions and timelines, and pull the future forward.<p>I wouldn’t do this if I didn’t think the Cursor team weren’t standup people with high character and kindness. I wouldn’t do this if I thought it meant compromising our vision of building a better generation of code collaboration tooling. I wouldn’t do it if I thought it wouldn’t be insanely fun and exciting. But it seems to be all those things, so we’re plunging forward with excitement and open hearts!</p>
