The post says Cursor’s 2023/2024 “open problems” blog posts were especially good because the company publicly listed concrete problems it wanted to solve and effectively gave away valuable product and research ideas.
Looking back, many of the predictions were prescient, though some ideas mattered less over time. The writer still thinks the “future ideas” section remains useful today.
