Developer willcb posted a sarcastic jab: "remember when OpenAI launched a Codex plugin for VSCode and then Cursor fully died and went to $0?" The reality was the opposite — Cursor thrived and became one of the hottest AI coding tools. The post mocks the once-popular narrative that Big AI shipping an official plugin dooms startups, making it a shareable AI-industry meme.
