>If you are hung up on commit build quality

I'm sorry but what? Are you really trying to argue that it doesn't matter that nothing works, that all it produced is garbage and that what is really important is that it made that garbage really quickly without human oversight?

That's.....that's not success.

Quality absolutely matters, but it's hyper context dependent.

Not everything needs to, or should have the same quality standards applied to them. For the purposes of the Cursor post, it doesn't bother me that most of the commits produced failed builds. I assume, from their post, that at some points, it was capable of building, and rendering the pages shown in the video on the post. That alone, is the thing that I think is interesting.

Would I use this browser? Absolutely not. Do I trust the code? Not a chance in hell. Is that the point? No.

		"Quality" here isn't if A is better than B. It's "Does this thing actually work at all?" Sure, I don't care too much if the restaurant serves me food with silverware that is 18/10 vs 18/0 stainless steel, but I absolutely do care if I order a pizza and they just dump a load of gravel onto my plate and tell me it's good enough, and after all, quality isn't the point.

		> Quality absolutely matters, but it's hyper context dependent. There are very few software development contexts where the quality metric of “does the project build and run at all” doesn’t matter quite a lot.
