Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Four founders. One AI-powered editor. A race to change how software gets built.For decades, programmers worked within a familiar bargain: humans supplied the instructions, and computers carried them out. Anysphere set out to change that relationship. Its product, Cursor, would do more than help developers write code. It would bring artificial intelligence into the place where software takes shape.What followed became a contest over far more than a better text editor.Cursor: The Anysphere Story and the Race to Automate Software traces the company's journey from its founders' early ambitions to the struggle to build a lasting business in an industry moving faster than its own assumptions. Along the way, it explores the product decisions that won developers over, the growing reach of autonomous coding agents, and the tensions that emerge when a company depends on AI suppliers that can also become its fiercest competitors.Behind the extraordinary growth lies a harder set of questions. When software becomes easier to generate, who checks whether it works? What happens to trust when an assistant becomes an agent? And where does human judgment belong when machines can undertake more of the work?Written for founders, developers, business leaders, and curious readers, this independently researched account looks beyond the excitement of AI-generated code to examine the people, choices, and commercial pressures shaping its future.The race is not simply to write software faster. It is to decide what building software will mean.
