Cursor: An AI Engineer’s Guide
Want to become an AI Engineer or leader? Start here.
In 2025, people who know are going beyond VS Code.
They’re picking up Cursor: The AI Code Editor. “Cursor is now used by millions of programmers as their editor of choice.”
From Anysphere and the Cursor Team (that just raised >$100M dollars):
“Anysphere is an applied research lab working on automating coding. Our approach is to build the engineer of the future: a human-AI programmer that's an order of magnitude more effective than any one programmer. The Cursor of today is the very start of that, and our ambition stretches much further to an entirely new form of programming where invention is effortless.”
Cursor makes it easier than ever to build, ship, and share your first LLM application.
We’ve been tracking the best dev environment for aspiring AI Engineers for years, from the MLOps Dev Environment Setup to the LLM Ops Dev Environment Setup to the best way to go Beyond ChatGPT to deploy your first LLM application.
Now, it’s time we all step up to Cursor.
We’ve been testing this for a while in The AI Engineering Bootcamp, working with experienced engineers as well as new up-and-coming developers and even AI Engineering leaders.
We can officially say that Cursor is now a best-practice tool.
Join us live to learn all about how to set it up, and how to use it to build, ship, and share your first LLM application.
