Ben, I never got approved for a job in my entire life. MY CV is not hard to believe in, so I honestly think companies are just 'on the lookout' for candidates, collecting personal data, without an actual offer. Earning money proven to be easier than to find a job. I will follow up with my rejection message and we will have a good laugh. Regardless, expressing my appreciation of Cursor with application 'more details' text:

I convince people use modern technology all my life, developing integrations for automation of human efforts where I see reason. Last month I started integrating a nine-platform fully-AI-orchestrated cluster of MCP-powered planes which automatically sort and reply to entire stack of all resident inquiries for Cherkasy Region Administration of Ukraine. That being said, I am not a govt worker and never was. I have entrepreneurial spirit, most of my life I spent instructing people with aim to earn together. I lived a very bright life that is considered a success, and know everything about money. I also went through an even brighter spiritual path and I know betrayal, forgiveness, compassion and the higher love. I can safely say I conquered all my achievements and hold them well here in Ukraine. I don't see a reason to move, you can save your budget, too.

I need a job to pay for the promotion of http://ring-platform.org - an open-source platform which I build entirely in Cursor.

You may say I am Cursor-IDE's most active user, or one of them. Check my http://cursor.com/@insight profile.

If you hire me, I will be happy to share my experience of Cursor IDE application for various enterprise use, in three languages without accent English, Russian, Ukrainian.

The most important part is that I love you, guys. I just love the feeling of seeing the code appear. I love how complex it is with my complex instructions, and I love the most that it actually works!

You literally saved me from a years-long depression, my life has changed thanks to Cursor. Yes, you did.

Spiritual growth aside, from 2013 to 2019 I spent over $3M on development of my erlang-powered white-label messenger for business, Connect Platform. Over 198 people officially hired to bring platform product to market. I was good at automated sales process funnels, but I had to hire devs who knew code syntax in order to write it. When COVID hit, my budget went under water and people simply left. When the company ship wrecks - it is a test for everything, including personal life. All I can say that keeping company knowledge in other people's brains is a bad idea. So, when I saw code instantly happen with Cursor, I started to breathe. Cursor literally had that x5 context that was simply vital at the time.

Now look at http://github.com/connectplatform/ring - it all happened thanks to Cursor!

Prior I worked with Lovable and used VScode+copilot, but Cursor is light-years ahead, combining the best of line-by-line acceptance approach (using fileEdit tool), multiple tabs (with agent view), and terminal usage that feels much more useful than any headless IDE today.

Overall, when the board of Cursor understands whose application they are looking at right now, and immediately look at each other excited to invite me on board, they should be prepared for me pushing Cursor IDE into a Notion-like environment, aimed to organize a person's entire life into a machine-searchable collection of projects and context libraries, full of machine-first concepts and implementations. I would also introduce NODUS method to replace linear markdown skills with structured JSON collectable and queryable data libraries to inquire llm about subjects. Then I would create a Cursor-owned marketplace for this knowledge and skillsets (with subscription-allowance tiers and family packs). This would let Cursor evolve into a personal lab of knowledge.

I am applying for a position which is available, just so I can share my best ideas with people whom I truly respect for helping me find a bright discovery everyday.

@benln Do you pay relocation for the right candidate that is willing to move?

Also, would love to interview you and talk more in depth about Cursor and your path to where you are now. Will clip the whole stream so you have the materials also for marketing.
