Well, I made a video walking through some of the tooling I've made. Hopefully its interesting.

We’re introducing Cursor 3. It is simpler, more powerful, and built for a world where all code is written by agents, while keeping the depth of a development environment.

I have crawled through depths of hell to bring you, for the foreseeable years, one of the more important foundational pieces of UI engineering (if not in implementation then certainly at least in concept):
Fast, accurate and comprehensive userland text measurement algorithm in pure TypeScript, usable for laying out entire web pages without CSS, bypassing DOM measurements and reflow

Some personal news: I recently left Increase! I had a blast — truly exceptional team and killer product! 🔥
What's next? I'm not sure yet, but for now I'd like to continue my angel investments and help the startups I invest in. Ping me if you're interested: ben@deaxon.com

Good lord, this thing really sparks joy! Coming from an ancient 11 Pro, the biggest difference for me isn't actually the Dynamic Island but the ProMotion display. So much FPS 🔥
