i like cursor fine, but check out the forum/subreddit to see people talking like addicts, pissed their fix is getting more expensive

i think this aggressive reaction is more pronounced for non-programmers who are making things for the first time. they tasted a new power and they don't want it taken away.

the only reason he'd walk away is because he thinks other opportunities are higher EV. if he believes this, a) the investors investment is likely worth virtually 0 anyway and b) if it's not, removing a leader who doesn't want to be there probably increases P(success) for the company and further increases the value of the investment.

founder departure isn't good for the narrative, but it's a symptom of an investment going bad, not often a cause.

It's tough for me to assess credibility of authors like this–is this just a DeepResearch report or someone using ChatGPT to clean up an authentic post?

Seems like this is less an issue of actual support and more an issue of pricing/access model disconnect.

When a SaaS product ends, it can be frustrating for sure, but it rarely feels like a betrayal in the way ending access to a one-time payment product does.

> Can I use AI to get on the global leaderboard? Please don't use AI / LLMs (like GPT) to automatically solve a day's puzzles until that day's global leaderboards are full. By "automatically", I mean using AI to do most or all of the puzzle solving, like handing the puzzle text directly to an LLM. The leaderboards are for human competitors; if you want to compare the speed of your AI solver with others, please do so elsewhere. (If you want to use AI to help you solve puzzles, I can't really stop you, but I feel like it's harder to get better at programming if you ask an AI to do the programming for you.)

I feel like "automatically" and "handing the puzzle text directly to an LLM" imply that copilot-style, really-good-autocomplete AI is permissible, but passing the entire problem into the model isn't.

There is some nuance though: sticking the problem in a comment and then letting Copilot complete it is a clear "handing text" violation, so Copilot is not 100% approved.
