If these tools were so great they wouldn't be struggling so hard to sell them. Great sign that the company has to mandate a "productivity" tool that the workers hate.

Hence why all these LLM companies love government contracts, they can't sell to consumers so they'll just steal from tax payers instead.

Cursor and Claude Code are amongst the fastest selling products in history.

Cursor: 1 Billion ARR in 24 months -- https://andrew.ooo/posts/cursor-fastest-growing-saas-1b-arr/

Claude Code: 2.5 Billion ARR in 10 months -- https://www.anthropic.com/news/anthropic-raises-30-billion-s...

  • Ah yes the mythical "valuations" based on unicorn dust and pixie horns (note that they don't define what a month actually is, my hunch is they take their best week then multiply it by x52).
