Lenny's Podcast: Product | Career | Growth

[01:28:23] S0: With that, two valid questions. Adam, what do you want to plug? Anything you want to point people to? And how can listeners be useful to you? [01:28:29] S1: I think they're one and the same. I mean, I would love people to try Cursor. I think it's incredibly exciting things that we're coming out with, and we're really proud of it. Some things in the pipeline too. I'm not super out there online. I think I'm on LinkedIn a little bit, but I really honestly try to let my work and our team speak for what we do. But I'm always down to be helpful back to the last point. So I really do get pure energy and joy from helping people. And so I know at some point that will come back in some way or form. Don't expect it to, but that's just where I get that drive for me. [01:29:11] S0: Just to plug Cursor a little bit, not only is just the design and experience of Cursor awesome, the best feature for a lot of people is you could just switch between models extremely easily. So instead of getting hooked on Codex or Claude Code, you use Cursor and then a new Opus comes out, a new GPT comes out and you could switch and just play around with it immediately versus switching the product.

[01:29:31] S1: Yeah. There was a world where models were coming out every three or four months. We're down to a number of days between models. And people I know who love to build products want to be working with the best tools at any given time. And so our agent allows you to choose the right model. And I think for a lot of companies also cost is a rightful consideration now. And so it really comes around optimization of using the right model for the right task, and so that's just landing it to Cursor's sweet spot. [01:30:02] S0: Yeah. And you guys are also now just building state-of-the-art models built sitting on SpaceX's data centers. [01:30:08] S1: Yeah, it's amazing. [01:30:09] S0: A whole new world for Cursor, holy moly. [01:30:09] S1: Yeah. Getting to train on the world's largest data center has just unlocked our model, so it's been amazing. [01:30:16] S0: What a time to be alive. [01:30:17] S1: Yeah, it's good. [01:30:18] S0: Adam, thank you so much for being here. [01:30:20] S1: Thanks for having me.
