A quick demo of Cursor, an AI-first fork of VS Code.
Cursor has quickly become the most popular AI Code Editor, and this is the quick demo I show to developers who haven't tried it yet.
I hit three notes:
- the integrated chat
- natural language coding with Command K
- AI-assisted debugging.
My favorite demo is to have Claude Sonnet one-shot a game of life implementation in Python. This is code I could write on my own, but it'd take hours, and def wouldn't run the first try.
