Sorry, looks like this was previously posted: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48548758

I just got the email about it today and didn’t search back far enough (I thought it _just_ happened).

Trololo, super strange: I posted this and immediately got to your post. Assumed it’s some nifty mechanism to avoid double posting since we published the same URLs but you were a few minutes earlier than me. But apparently you could make your post despite the previous one you kindly linked to. Did we find a bug in HN??

The previous one was a couple days ago, they obviously have a time threshold (ie a feature, not a bug) but the rapid drop of this off the front page probably indicates a more nuanced approach.

"and has been discontinued"

Cursor is peak anti-open-source; it launched from open source VSCode and has never contributed back in any meaningful way - a dark pattern that seems to bother the founders not one bit.

Nothing in the MIT license says you have to contribute back.

I said it was a dark pattern, not a license breach.

Doesn't that make using the MIT license a dark pattern by itself?
