This is yet another mind-blowing moment for me in the crazy world of AI 🤯.

While we already leverage various different LLMs, Cursor represents a fundamental shift in development. It's IDE integration allows for real-time issue detection, automated fixing, retesting, and iteration – all driven by simple prompts. It even lets you "breeze through changes by predicting your next edit". My early testing results are astonishing, suggesting a massive productivity increase not just tenfold, but perhaps a hundredfold.

I'm so blown away by the world of AI now that I'm going to start building a new website and development community around this, if anyone wants to help me built it or curate some content please reach out to me . I truly believe Vibe Coding is the future ... 💫

Vibe Coding

Vibe Coding is a contemporary approach to software development that heavily utilizes AI, particularly Large Language Models, to generate code based on natural language descriptions provided by the programmer. Instead of writing code manually, the developer focuses on articulating the desired functionality or solution in plain language, relying on the AI to translate these instructions into executable code. This method shifts the programmer's role towards guiding, reviewing, and testing the AI's output, potentially lowering the barrier to entry for non-programmers and accelerating prototyping. However, concerns exist regarding potential errors, a lack of deep understanding of the generated code, and the long-term impact on developer skills. Tools like Cursor AI and GitHub Copilot are often associated with this emerging style of coding.

Cursor AI

Cursor is an AI-powered code editor built as a fork of Visual Studio Code, aiming to boost developer productivity. It integrates features like AI-driven code generation, intelligent autocompletion, codebase understanding through natural language queries, and smart rewrites across multiple lines. While offering a free tier, its advanced functionalities come with paid subscriptions. Cursor AI seeks to streamline coding workflows, enhance code quality, and accelerate learning, though it's a proprietary software and some users have noted limitations in complex bug fixing.

Another crazy thing you can do is take any image and get Cursor to generate a web application from it, for example I asked it to create an application using React from this image ...

Cursor then generated all the application code in less than 1 minute, which resulted in this form, pretty damn close ! It even created a working Auth service in React ... 🤯
