Cursor Used Hierarchical Agent Pattern to Autonomously Write 1M Lines in a Week

Wrapping up his multi-agent patterns thread, Matt Dancho claims the hierarchical pattern — a planner agent coordinating worker agents — is what Cursor just used to autonomously write 1 million lines of code in one week. He argues mastering this pattern separates "Track 1" data scientists who merely know what an AI agent is from "Track 2" ones who can pick the right pattern and ship it in Python before a meeting ends.
