GitHub under siege

My first thought when I saw Cursor’s Origin announcement last week was:

You could see this move coming a mile away

My second thought was:

Dang, GitHub really is under siege

Cursor is now building1 the exact thing that GitHub is: the place our code actually lives. Their announcement is what sent me down this rabbit hole, but it’s certainly not where the story starts. Origin is yet another data point in a pattern I’ve been watching for a long time. A long time.
