Leaving Cursor: In Search of a Slower Rhythm Outside the Tech Bubble
infoxiao · x · 2026-08-11
A prominent developer in the AI community has announced their departure from Cursor, the popular AI coding tool. After spending 10 years inside the San Francisco tech bubble, they describe Cursor as the sharpest version of that fast, intense, and ambitious world.
While leaving with gratitude, they now seek a different rhythm: slower time, different weather, and more culture, aliveness, and human connection in everyday life, noting that Asia feels like the right next step.
