I think the biggest tell for me was having the leader of Cursor up vouching for the model, who has been a big proponent of Claude in Cursor for the last year. Doesn't seem like a light statement.
I would agree. I am a big fan of Claude and I've Claude code a bunch although after testing Codex & GPT-5 extensively, it just gets stuck in a rut way less often and much more often is able to pinpoint issues & fixes in the codebase.
Originally, actually there was a relationship between Cursor & OpenAI. Something like Cursor was supported by the OpenAI startup fund. So Cursor seems to have branched out. I think they are just emphasizing the models they find most effective. I'm surprised they haven't (apparently) incorporated Claude prompt caching yet for Sonnet.
I find it ironic that the right sidebar of the guardian site has a "Most Viewed" list of articles constantly calling my attention away from the main article. As I scroll down, the list of "Most Viewed" articles follow...
With a few minor exceptions, the responsive view looks great to me. The issues mentioned in this thread seem less to do with imba's architecture and more to do with rushed, last-minute marketing decisions (e.g. adding in the "we're hiring" chip; which, by the way, is fixed now). No excuses, of course, although as someone who painstakingly builds nice mobile views for complex web apps, no matter how good the library is (I was using Theme-ui), the process is still like building a house on-top of jello.
Ditto; my first career break into the web app development world came from a friend who is a really talented developer although he had never heard of flexbox. I quickly helped him fix a frustrating layout issue and he got me a job developing a React app for the government. I didn't know React at the time although I've learned a ton since. All because I spent years messing around with CSS.
Very relevant and well laid out! Ideally, in-person, human interaction is best for user testing although would be awesome to see these projects become immediately accessible for UX-interested users to practice with, via e.g. an artificial intelligence bot set up to respond to UX-related questions. Or even better, users get paired up with another UX-interested site visitor over video chat and they are each given a different, e.g., card sorting scenario to take the other person through.
Really helpful projects! Thank you for sharing. The set of skills you've highlighted resonate with my UX experience. I could see this becoming part of a course in the school system where I do UX/UI work and software development.
