You see, although what you say makes sense, paid software can also be extremely brittle systems. The only benefit is you can put the blame on someone else, which for the corporate life is a great hack. But that is not good engineering, much less use NextJS which is the same problem.

Customized software is as good as the team developing them are and trusting others to do that is proven to not work all the time, React proving it to all of us the last days with 4 different CVEs.

yep and thankfully Lee will always be at cursor and definitely not switch companies in the future

the chance of the software that does one thing well being maintained by the dedicated company is higher than the chance of Lee not switching jobs once the once vesting cliff has been reached again

if only Lee can maintain it, Lee is a terrible software engineer.

[throwaway12345t]

fair but how many engineers join cursor to maintain their weekend built jank CMS that was put together as part of a marketing stunt

just quietly move that back to a CMS so you can get back to building more interesting things, nobody actually wants to maintain a CMS

but a great job security engineerer!
