Ask HN: Do FAANG corps have an internal Cursor?

What's happening with AI assisted programming inside each of the FAANG companies (or large unicorn startups)? Are they just using cursor et al? Do they have custom applications for vertical integration? Custom plugins?

Please feel free to share your insights from inside the larger tech companies and cultures.

I always thought Windsurf was the more enterprise Cursor. I could be wrong.

Amazon has it's own for privacy concerns or whatnot. It's terrible. And my org adopted KPI's for increasing usage of it.

What would be a good KPI for increasing usage of it? More bugs and security incidents?

They're tracking accepted suggestions by employee. With the success metric being higher numbers in both dimensions.

A useless metric if you ask me. There's no customer in that metric
