| | | | | | Forget Ctrl c + Ctrl v; tab, tab, tab is how you code now. Cursor AI is the name of the game, and everyone is obsessed with it. Your friendly Human, Amit Raja Naik, can’t stop talking about it either. | | | | | | | | | | | | Learn to code, before you code to learn | | | | | A year ago, it was Karpathy who called English the hottest programming language. Now, for Cursor, he says, the future is ‘tab tab tab’ and that “the tool is now a complex living thing”. His support for Cursor made some question if he worked with or supported the team at Anysphere, the creators of Cursor, in some manner. Further in the thread, Karpathy added that with the capabilities of LLM shifting so rapidly, it is important for developers to continually adapt the current abilities. However, many developers feel that it is getting increasingly difficult to catch up with the new tools in coding. Is it now time to bring back the old days of learning how to code? A user replied to Karpathy saying that they were grateful that they had the time to learn computer science prior to the advent of AI tools. “...if I was new to programming I would be too tempted to skip actual learning in favour of more LLM usage, resulting in many knowledge gaps,” the user added. Karpathy called it a valid concern as he, too, has felt that “it’s slightly too convenient to just have it do things and move on when it seems to work”. This, he said, sometimes leads to the introduction of a few bugs when he codes too fast and is tapping through big chunks of code. | | | | | | | But, Cursor AI is here to stay | | | | | It feels like Cursor is creating a ChatGPT-like breakthrough in coding. Ricky Robinett, the VP of developer relations at Cloudflare, posted a video of his eight-year-old daughter building a chatbot on the Cloudflare Developer Platform in just 45 minutes using Cursor AI. He documented the whole process, even the spelling mistakes while giving prompts, which left even Jeff Dean, chief scientist at Google DeepMind, fascinated. “The video is fun to watch!” said Dean, adding that writing significant software systems using natural language instead of computer-oriented programming language is one of the most significant aspects of generative models. “It opens up the ability to get computers to do what you want,” he added, saying it would make technology more accessible for everyone. “It is the future,” said several developers who reposted the video. People who started using Cursor have been implementing their own tricks. The most common one currently is using Claude 3.5 Sonnet with Cursor AI, as it allows them to use other open source LLMs and architectures such as Replit, Tailwind, React, Vercel, Firebase and many more in their workflows. Developers have built complex projects using Cursor in just hours, without even writing a single line of code. Plus, using LLMs, the code generator could also explain the use cases and meaning of the code, which in the end assists in learning how to code as well. “If you’re a technical founder, Cursor + Claude 3.5 Sonnet is a legit team of senior software engineers,” said Sahil Lavingia, the founder of Gumroad. “We’re at the point with AI codegen where Cursor + Claude 3.5 Sonnet is a legit technical cofounder,” said TakeoffAI’s Mckay Wrigley, who has already started a course on coding with Cursor. | | | | | | | | | Francois Chollet, the deep learning guru and creator of Keras, said that he is interested in watching a developer stream while programming using Cursor and Claude and another developer who is really good at coding, and compare how generative AI has worked for the former. Chollet had earlier said that it would be great if someone could fully automate software engineering as he could move on to working on higher things, which is what Cursor AI is slowly ushering in. Meanwhile, there is another tool in the market called Zed, released in partnership with Claude-creator Anthropic, which several developers claim is better than both Cursor and VS Code. The same was the case with GitHub Copilot and Cognition Labs’ Devin. Cursor’s capabilities should be a wake up call for Microsoft to make VS Code integration with GitHub Copilot a lot easier. Basically, Cursor is also a glorified VS Code extension. Currently, VS Code is facing criticism and uninstalls as it struggles to keep up with new AI-driven tools like Cursor despite its massive footprint, but upcoming updates could potentially revive its competitive edge.

However, things are now changing. Recently, the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF), a nonprofit organisation that promotes the development and adoption of Kubernetes, released a new update, Kubernetes 1.31 (Elli). Elli introduces enhancements designed to improve resource management and efficiency, making it easier to handle the intensive requirements of AI and ML applications on Kubernetes. | | | | | | | German AI startup Aleph Alpha launched the Pharia-1-LLM model family, optimised for multilingual domain-specific applications, with a focus on safety, compliance, and performance in industries like automotive and engineering. Amazon CEO Andy Jassy revealed that the company’s AI assistant for software development, Q, has saved an astounding 4,500 developer-years of work, underscoring its transformative impact on productivity. Synthflow launched a no-code, white-label voice AI solution for agencies, enabling full customisation, sub-account management, and transparent pricing without hefty development costs. | | | | | | | | | Cypher 2024 marks a significant expansion as it celebrates its 8th edition by branching out to the USA in addition to its already established presence in India.
