🍭 Cursor v Windsurf v Claude Code 🤺

Good morning. The intern tried to make a Claude Code clone using Claude Code and accidentally launched a vending machine startup.

Also, Trump’s getting TikTok sold, Vitalik’s side-eyeing iris scanners, and GPT-5 is coming to vaporize your roadmap.

Let’s dig in.

🍭 What’s Cookin’:

• Claude Code might eat Cursor and Windsurf alive.

• GPT-5 confirmed for summer.

• From Scroller to Seller: Part 1/5

• Steal This Prompt: Your own AI dietitian

• Everything Else to stay on top of AI, tech, and business

🧠 Cursor vs Windsurf vs Claude Code: AI Coding Showdown

The Bite: Claude Code is gunning for the coding throne and it might actually take it.

Unlike Cursor and Windsurf (which layer tools on top of LLMs like Claude), Claude Code is built by Anthropic, for Anthropic’s own model.

Meaning?

The model finally met its soulmate… and started deploying pull requests.


Snacks: 

• Cursor and Windsurf both use LLMs like Claude 4. But with their own tools and UI layers

• Their secret sauce? Tools. File readers, writers, and memory agents that interact with codebases

• Claude Code flips the model-tool dynamic: Anthropic built native tools that Claude knows how to use

• 95% of Anthropic engineers use it full-time

• Cursor just launched background agents you can control from Slack

Why it bites: Imagine Google Maps, but the mapmaker also built the GPS, the car, and trained the driver.

That’s Claude Code.

Cursor and Windsurf rent the engine.
Anthropic built it and gave it a steering wheel.

For devs, this flips the script:
Tooling isn’t just UI anymore.
It’s a race to build agent-ready, context-rich environments.

Claude Code isn’t a plugin.

It’s the blueprint for model-native software.

And whoever nails it first owns the future of work.

OpenAI
🚀 GPT-5 Coming Very Soon!

The Bite: OpenAI just confirmed GPT-5 is dropping this summer.

It’s not just another model, allegedly….

It’s the beginning of a new release cycle, a new vision for superintelligence, and maybe a new/more breakup with Microsoft.


Snacks: 

• Sam Altman says GPT-5 lands “sometime this summer”

• Future updates might go 5.1, 5.2 instead of mega-version drops

• Project Stargate aims to make compute as cheap and common as electricity

• Microsoft’s exclusive deal is under renegotiation — and could implode

• Scale AI is out, new data partners like Mercor are in

Why it bites: GPT-5 won’t just launch. We think it’ll hit like a software update for the internet itself.

And while OpenAI preaches “superintelligence for good,” the subtext reads more like a tech cold war:

Microsoft on edge, SoftBank circling, and Sam Altman walking around a $500B compute farm like it’s Jurassic Park.

If this model unlocks autonomous science or real, affordable, agentic behavior?
The summer won’t just be hot.

It’ll be historic.

Stupid Simple
💰 From Scroller to Seller: Part 1

The Bite: Meet Matt: A professional scroller, part-time overthinker, and future automation guy (he just doesn’t know it yet).

Matt spent two weeks bingeing automation side-hustle vids and bookmarking threads.

But every launch attempt died from overthinking.


Snacks: 

• Convinced himself daily: “I don’t know enough.”

• Waffled on simplicity: “Nobody pays for easy stuff, right?”

• Favorite line: “Maybe next week.” Classic.

Why it bites: Tools aren't his issue. Momentum is.

Every overthinker’s kryptonite is the myth of needing more prep.

Matt’s stuck in startup purgatory, doom-scrolling his own excuses.

(Tomorrow: Matt stops scrolling, finally finds a blueprint and gives it a shot.)
