With the Grok code incident in recent memory I have zero interest in trusting our company’s crown jewels with this service.

Agents are here. Just self host and let the agents help cover your ass in network config, HA, whatever.


One of the few areas in my life i have control over is who I associate with and who I spend my money with. Elon ain’t it.


Diabolical timing. Incredible. Too bad it requires mirroring GitHub.


Good day to launch. GitHub had issues as normal.


If the goal was to launch on a day when GitHub had issues, most days are good launch days.


Isn’t Codeberg a better alternative to this?

Cursor / SpaceX will just have free rein to just train on your hosted code if you use Cursor Origin.


I imagine Codeberg's LLM ban might make it a poor fit for many Cursor users.

Ironically this had an issue because of GitHub downtime?

Perhaps has to do with the Github sync feature, https://cursor.com/docs/origin/mirror-github


doesn't matter, it's DOA anyway, Elon is bad for your brand, hosting your project with Elon is a sure way to have people pass on it, and possibly a way your private repos end up in an Ai training set. These people cannot be trusted


As opposed to Micro$oft, which everyone loves and trusts?


Wouldn't touch it at this point because of the association.

With as bad as GitHub has gotten, I can see moving...but not to here.


I’ve finally cancelled my Cursor subscription. It was an interesting product, but the fact that most interesting features only work with per-token pricing, not Cursor and Codex subscriptions, is a bummer. As to their Composer models, they were good for simpler coding tasks, but after the company purchase, they will probably end up merged with Grok, and I do not want to pay nor contribute to Elon Musk’s businesses.


Same. Cancelled the day the Elon acquisition was announced.


Genuinely curious - why does Cursor still exist?

What’s the point? What value does it add VS VSCode with Claude and such?


I have been a long time Cursor user but it is really expensive even if it is convenient to switch models. I recently switched to just Max on Claude and Max on Codex. That is cheaper than Cursor if you use it a lot.
