Max Feldstein announced his last day at Cursor / SpaceX. He traced the team's origin back to a demo tweet asking "what if we just shove the whole file in the LLM," which eventually grew into sending AI to Mars. He thanked his former colleagues, calling the work an honor. A notable talent departure from Cursor's early core team.
