Michael Truell · The rise of Cursor
“Taste will matter more than syntax.”- Michael Truell
Michael Truell and three MIT classmates were studying mechanical engineering when GPT models arrived. They pivoted overnight, built their first AI coding tool in 30 days, and threw away their previous work entirely. Cursor grew to 60 employees and over $300 million in annualized revenue, with a core belief that the future of programming is about taste and intent, not syntax.
