@rd_whitley@iii_ronto@southevropa Don't be confused. A ton of state of the art tech companies are founded by Germans (n26, trade republic, n8n, celonis, quantum systems, shopify, palantir...). They simply sit in the US now, because Germany has a huge problem with access to high-risk capital
In the last 2 weeks i spend a combined $600 on two cursor plans (Pro+ & Ultra). No way to reset my Ultra before Jan 16 and I surely won't create another account. Working with claude code inside cursor IDE with a plan on claude code now - let's see what all this buzz is about ๐
@mckaywrigley I switched to it fully on the day it came out on cursor. But had to switch to gpt 5.2 high now due to the cost. I can't afford to run this model anymore after the price change. Have to say though, the I/O and accuracy is insane. I very much enjoyed using it ๐ฅฒ
My Cursor pricing gets out of hand lately
- Claude Opus 4.5 High Thinking: 4.1m tokens = $3.72
- Agent Review (small commit): 6.2m tokens = $4.50
I'm on an ULTRA plan and already at $135 in a single day... Don't like this at all - stopped agent reviews right away.
@PrajwalTomar_ Exactly this happened to me gradually since Feb this year. Now I don't touch code anymore, only high level orchestration of agents to outline: research, review and task docs. In general my dev flow moved much more to a context providing specialist and review logic guy...
@ericzakariasson@jackfriks Pretty happy with cursor and the improvements you guys did in the past months!
Some feedback:
- I am subscribed to the ultra plan and two days ago I have hit my limit. I wish you guys would allow renewing the plan ahead of time instead of me going through loops ๐ฅฒ
@binance,
Thanks for including me in the top 100 blockchain people list, appreciate the signal!
I must decline the Dubai invite though. I do not wish to disrespect, but many of the award voters are avid kaspians who rooted for my kaspa status at least as much as for my research. Let them win or count me out.
Crypto has turned from a euphoric cypherpunk project to a house-friendly casino. You may not be the culprit, but as a top player you hold the lionโs share of the responsibility to correct this, and the October crash your USDe oracle glitch helped trigger adds to what needs to be addressed.
There are three classes of crypto, as @mert put it recently: commercial crypto, casino crypto, cypherpunk crypto. <<Binance should hold a privilege policy for the latter.>> A TBTF CEX should know better and play a different game with hardcore crypto projects.
When binance lists a green frog three weeks post its โlaunchโ but skips a fair-launched-Nakamoto-Consensus-100ms-upgrade-ATH-top-20-the-only-nonbitcoin-marathon-mined project, this is not merely binance rationally calculating; it is also binance molding the market in a way that is alas misaligned with the roots of the movement.
You may feel that kaspaโs sovereign money thesis is boring โ that bitcoin is already money and that implementing an internet-speed bitcoin is useless - fine. Wrong but fine. But whatโs the thesis for the green frog?
Money is a classic chicken-and-egg product. It is a scam up until one moment before tipping point, โmost of the value comes from the value that others place in it.โ Considering your resources and influence, I think it's safe to say you can serve as both the egg and the chicken and make it worth your while to push sound attempts towards tipping point.
@cz_binance tweeted recently that โstrong projects will be listed.โ But binance is part of what defines "strong", it bears responsibility for the marketโs compass and impulse and definition of strong. It is not a read-only entity.
Binance listing fees are legit, they are just unfit for category cypherpunk. Kaspa devs and early supporters fairly mined less than half what satoshi and hals mined. We donโt have a 20% ZEC-style foundersโ reward or protocol-enforced dev fund; this is not a jab at ZEC and the wonderful @Zooko, who was crashing in my car on a late Thursday back in the low ZEC MC days โ if somebody deserves to win it is zooko โ but assuming binance is not taking a maxi bet, it should revisit its relationship with hardcore crypto.
We are here through bull and bear, ICOs NFTs XYZs; and we are the source of confidence that restores faith and capital inflow post meme-induced or CEX-induced crashes.
Please fix this.
Thanks again,

@mattpocockuk Yeah these .md files start to be quite annoying ๐ have you ever worked with a Jira mcp workflow instead of git issues? If so, anything which makes git come out ahead?
I typically try all new models once they come out and none can really compete with gpt 5 codex at the moment.
Maybe if you have a small project others work well too, but for large projects with complex topics such as SSR, hydration, AWS CDK, TS etc. other models start to struggle. Especially "fast" models since they skip pulling in enough context to make the proper association between all elements of your stack.
