Cursor CEO Michael Truell warns against 'vibe coding,' a risky AI-assisted coding approach where users rely entirely on AI without understanding the underlying code, which can lead to unstable foundations. Instead, Cursor integrates AI directly into the coding environment, allowing developers to work with both detailed code and end-to-end tasks, promoting more reliable software development.
Cursor is acquiring code review startup Graphite to enhance its AI-powered software development platform, aiming to streamline both code writing and review processes amid a booming AI coding market, with plans for deeper integration and improved review tools by 2026.
The article discusses the rapid adoption of AI tools like Cursor, developed by Anysphere, which automates and enhances programming through generative AI models. It highlights how Cursor is transforming software development, the company's focus on building proprietary models, and the potential for AI to significantly increase programmer productivity and change the future of coding. The CEO emphasizes slow, steady progress over overnight revolutions and the importance of building a focused, innovative company in this space.
Apple has released iPadOS 26 beta 3, introducing a Mac-inspired cursor design and a new 'shake to find' feature that enlarges the cursor to help locate it easily, along with other productivity enhancements. The update is currently in developer beta, with a public beta expected in July and full release in September.
