Episode notes
Ecosystem Beats Pure Tech
- Community and tutorials matter as much as raw technical capability when choosing a vibe-coding tool.
- A large ecosystem reduces friction and boosts real-world success for a platform.
Bet On The Founders, Not Just Code
- Trust in the founding team strongly influences whether you'll use a platform.
- Team decisions (founder departure, acquisitions) can make technically strong tools feel risky.
Cursor Is Built For Developers
- Cursor is primarily built for developers and offers deep capabilities for technical users.
- Non-technical people can use it, but it's a much steeper experience without developer skills.
