It started in 1812. Although the Democratic-Republican party did evolve into the current Democratic party over the course of two centuries, it’s hardly fair to call them the same party. That’s eight generations between then and now and the political landscape has changed dramatically.

As for the “both sides do it” whataboutism, like so many “both sides” issues the current Republican Party benefits far more from gerrymandering than the current Democratic Party, and this is before this especially egregious Texas mid-census redistricting.

No. There’s no indication that any AI code was or was not added to their repository, nor is there any indication that any “vibe coding” was done. It could be that some junior developer installed Cursor on their machine and was playing with it and committed the .cursor file which was subsequently removed. More likely, they’re experimenting with introducing some AI into their development workflow as almost every company seems to be doing these days. Not great, but not nearly as alarming or damning as this post suggests.

Cursor is a version of a popular coding program that integrates Ai into the editor. A .cursor is a text file that you put into your code folder that gives extra context and information to the Cursor code editor.
