this is at the very least the pinnacle of idealized startup-corporate culture… i am always skeptical of what these things look like in practice, because these kinds of pieces always seem to be a trailing indicator, but they do seem to have their collective heads in the right places…

I wanted to hurl from the photos alone.

-iPhone filter

-Group of employees eating at the office -Sign of amazing work-life balance

-Employees who are all interchangeable and mid twenties at most

     -I don't see anyone that I'd identify as being 30 or older
-Wall of keyboards

-An actual chalkboard

-Shoe rack at the entrance

    -You know it's rank in there
Article also pre-emptively denies the 996 allegations because of "passion". Author also works for Cursor.

In general I agree with you, but parent poster is right that this article is complete marketing garbage. I can't remember the last time I read such a pretentious article for such a relatively...mediocre tool. Not a dig against cursor - it's cool! - but the scale of what they're doing does not match the tone of this article at all.

I know this article is marketing fluff, but the level of hubris displayed is astounding. Seriously, read the entire article. I know billions of dollars is a hell of a drug, but this author might as well have joined a cult.

Nice $COMPANY_NAME defense force there. Maybe you're collecting a check like the author of this article.

No, I just dislike ad-hoc insulting people for superficial things, because the focus was on the photos, not the article. I realize the irony of my previous comment, so apologies for that.
