It's very hard to treat this post seriously. I can't imagine what harness if any they attempted to place on the agent beyond some vibes. This is "most fast and absolutely destroy things" level thinking. That the poster asks for journalists to reach out makes it like a no news is bad news publicity grab. Just gross.
The AI era is turning about to be most disappointing era for software engineering.
This is going to be the most important job going forward, the guy in charge of making sure production secrets are out CC's reach. (It's not safe for any dev to have them anywhere on their filesystem)
I'd be interested to learn where those words exist in Cursor's context. My assumption was that it was part of the Cursor agent harness, but it's just as likely it was in the user instructions.
As soon as I read that line, I knew everything I needed about the author and his abilities.

this has been obvious to me since like 2024, it truly is the worst, most uninspiring era of all time.
