swyx reveals he missed out on a roughly $500 million opportunity with Cursor
AI summary
swyx said that during the SpaceX IPO, everyone was posting about their "bag fumble" of missing out on Cursor, and he thought that was small potatoes, so he posted his own: he estimates he missed out on about $500 million this time, and believes he very likely should have started using Claude Code long ago, since he has always been doing TypeScript CLI maintenance.
