What’s their motivation to build tools like uv and ruff? What’s their business model?

When I went to download Cursor the other day I noticed that they do not offer any .deb/.rpm packages and just offer the FlatPak (could be a Snap I'm not sure). This just tells me they really dont understand the community and just wanted to ship something for Linux and be done with it.
Windsurf has plugins for Jetbrains products, for vim, for emacs, for Visual Studio (not code), XCode, and even eclipse. They try to get as much of the market as possible, while Cursor focuses on the core functionality.
Whenever I tried Windsurf Editor, or their plugin for vim, and Intellij, it didn't feel polished at all. The basic function of autocomplete felt much much snappier on Cursor, and even on GitHub Copilot for vim/intellij.

I just went to check that job posting for "Vibe Coder" [0]
> At least 50% of the code you write right now should be done by AI; Vibe coding experience is non-negotiable.
That is absolutely ridiculous.. As the kids say these days, I think that company is cooked.

maybe it's just mobile safari, but hacker news in the browser on mobile is unusable for me.
I’ve been reading hacker news only through hckrnews.com for years and never looked back

Marketing masquerading as research
What are they marketing?

Some point to ML models being the bad guy here, but I think its a good deconstruction of the whole Instagram influencer system, and modern marketing in general.
If all the top advertiser on , uh, "attractive selfie marketing platforms" are like this, maybe it will slowly shift user behavior? And there's more than one direction that could go, like more importance placed on the real (verified) person's actions, on institutions, or a general shift away from selfie marketing trust.
I think this is exactly what’s going to happen with “super smart unsafe AI”. If it’ll be abused and overused like this, people will just stop tuning in to those media sources where AI can easily dominate.
AI dominates instagram space? Why bother scrolling through it? It’s not interesting anymore. AI dominates online media? Why bother getting your information online?

Really cool! Why did you decide to start working on it? Because you wanted something simpler than what already exists, or just curiosity?
