◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
Cursor has cracked pricing power in a market with 27 million developers earning 1/3 the US wage; every AI coding tool founder now has a proven playbook for India and a ticking clock before Cursor's SpaceX backing turns this into a funded land-grab. If you're selling to developers outside the US, you're watching your margin structure break and your TAM shrink.
