It was night and day from one batch to another, adoption went from single digits to over 80%. It just spread like wildfire, all the best builders were using Cursor.

Cursor quickly grew from hundreds to thousands of extremely enthusiastic Stripe employees. We spend more on R&D and software creation than any other undertaking, and there's significant economic outcomes when making that process more efficient and productive.

The most useful AI tool that I currently pay for, hands down, is Cursor. It's fast, autocompletes when and where you need it to, handles brackets properly, sensible keyboard shortcuts, bring-your-own-model... everything is well put together.

The best LLM applications have an autonomy slider: you control how much independence to give the AI. In Cursor, you can do Tab completion, Cmd+K for targeted edits, or you can let it rip with the full autonomy agentic version.

It's definitely becoming more fun to be a programmer. It's less about digging through pages and more about what you want to happen. We are at the 1% of what's possible, and it's in interactive experiences like Cursor where models like GPT-5 shine brightest.
