This article gave me the opportunity for a mindset shift.
The post is about "How do Cursor engineers work?"
I learned that rather than a typical B2C-based workflow where projects evolve through consumer needs and feedback,
they operate with an engineer-centric, feature-development-driven process.
And through this engineer-led process, they were creating incredible innovation.
The company I currently work at is surprisingly similar to Cursor's organizational process.
Rather than a system that directly receives consumer feedback, the process involves
designing projects internally, building new features, and then having specific end-users evaluate them.
Because of this, I had a strong thirst for the experience of quickly keeping pace with consumer needs and reflecting their feedback.
In the current era where AI-collaborative design and development are happening—like vibe coding—
wouldn't an engineer-led organization be the best way to
rapidly respond to market reactions and quickly introduce new ideas for innovation?
If we leverage AI together, we could accelerate development speed through automation,
accumulate sufficient experience through AI-assisted learning before personal experiments to quickly flatten the learning curve,
and looking at future compatibility with AI utilization, I feel there are numerous advantages.
The organizational structure and process I had been disappointed about
turned out to be the process capable of delivering maximum efficiency—
and that's how my mindset was able to shift.
