Video: Cursor and Future of Programming with AI (Lex Fridman Podcast)

Cursor is a code editor created by forking Visual Studio Code (VS Code) to offer a more AI-integrated experience for developers. The founders of Cursor, in this interview, explained why they took this path and what sets Cursor apart from other AI-driven coding tools like GitHub Copilot. While VS Code has many AI-enhancing extensions, including Copilot, the team felt that extensions alone were insufficient for the evolving needs of developers. With the rapid advancements in AI, they saw the potential for tools that could fundamentally reshape the coding experience, which motivated them to build Cursor as an independent editor.

The team discussed how Cursor’s development philosophy centers around rapid iteration and close integration between the user experience and AI model improvements. Unlike large companies like Microsoft, Cursor operates with a startup mentality, allowing them to implement features and conduct experimental research swiftly. This agility, they argue, is critical to delivering an editor that stays ahead of user needs and leverages the latest in AI technology.

Cursor aims to provide two key functionalities: advanced predictive coding and seamless transition from instructions to code. One core feature, dubbed “Tab,” acts as a powerful, context-aware autocomplete that not only predicts text but also anticipates the next entire change or code section a programmer might write. This approach allows developers to work fluidly with Cursor as a proactive coding assistant. Additionally, the Cursor team’s hands-on involvement in both UI development and AI model training enables them to create an editor that feels deeply intuitive and responsive.

Lastly, Cursor is built with the mindset of “building the tool for ourselves,” meaning it’s designed from a developer’s perspective with a focus on rapid innovation, utility, and accessibility. As they continue refining Cursor, the founders intend for it to outpace and make their current version obsolete each year, maintaining a cutting-edge tool that empowers developers to leverage AI in transformative ways.
