I dropped cursor for the precise reason you mention: reliability.

Countless times my requests in the AI chat just hang there for 30+ seconds more until I can retry them.

When I decided to give Claude Code a try (I thought I didn't need it because I used Claude in Cursor) I couldn't believe how faster it was, and literally 100% reliable.

EDIT: given today's release, decided to give it a go. The Composer1 model _is_ fast, but right at the second new agent I started I got this:

A lot of progress is being made here on the Cursor side I encourage you to try it again.

As someone with a 5:38 delta, I'm very anxiously waiting for BAA to announce the official cutoff.

In the meantime, if you're at all curious about the kinds of levels to which people go with trying to predict the cutoff check out this blog[1]. This is from Brian Rock [2], who every year collects data about a lot of marathons all over the world and then tries to guess the official cutoff for the Boston marathon. Very cool stuff!

I didn't know about https://e2b.dev/ but I was looking for something exactly like that. Does anyone know about any self hostable alternatives?

You should look at [Modal](https://modal.com/), not affiliated.

I wonder if it was geolocation? Anthropic is based in SF, the author seems to be based in Munich, and maybe they're not open to hiring people who aren't based in the US right now? Given the state of US visas right now, this wouldn't shock me.
