Good day to launch. GitHub had issues as normal.

previously discussed today: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49334209 Ironically this had an issue because of GitHub downtime? https://status.cursor.com/incidents/l9h9vrd726jv

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.

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.

Genuinely curious - why does Cursor still exist? What’s the point? What value does it add VS VSCode with Claude and such?

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.

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.

Awesome stuff, about time. A common refrain in the commentariat is "if AI makes you so more productive, where's all the new ambitious software?" Here you are, here's an AI assisted Github clone.

Boy, if you want to trust your company’s codebase to xAI, I don’t know what to tell you except good luck and Godspeed. GitHub’s been terrible lately, but the answer surely isn’t to hitch your wagon to Elon’s AI bet.

now that software is easy to make and github has problems, how many "git as a service" offerings will there be? My guess is there will be at least dozens if not hundreds.
