Cursor Sees Opening as GitHub Flounders

Microsoft's GitHub unit has been on the defensive lately. Amid a series of outages and other snags, Jay Parikh, who oversees the software-project management platform, recently warned deputies that coding tools from Cursor and Anthropic could eventually make GitHub obsolete, my colleague Aaron wrote this week. Parikh was right to be worried. According to someone with knowledge of the effort, Cursor is working on software aimed at replacing some of the core functions of GitHub. Cursor intends to announce the software this summer.
