Cursor

A guide to the best B2B podcast coverage of Cursor - the shows and 61 episodes that go deepest, ranked by substance, not downloads.

Cursor represents a fundamental shift in how developers approach coding - from AI-assisted development to AI-driven workflows. These episodes explore the practical implications: how founders like Zach Goldberg at Gruntwork think about where to let AI build versus where humans must maintain control, why designers need to learn tools like Claude Code, and how AI coding changes team dynamics and hiring. The conversation spans timing (when to adopt), enterprise adoption beyond code-writing, and how teams actually perform when AI becomes a core part of the development process.
