How many software engineers are there in the world? How many are going to stop using it when model providers start increasing token cost on their APIs?

I could see the increased productivity of using Cursor indirectly generating a lot more value per engineer, but... I wouldn't put my money on it being worth it overall, and neither should investors chasing the Nvidia returns bag.
