Michael Truell: Building Cursor at 23, Taking on GitHub Copilot, and Advice to Engineering Students

Michael Truell, co-founder of Cursor, shares the journey of building an AI-first code editor that grew to $100M ARR in a year. He discusses the crucial pivot from failed startup ideas, the conviction required to compete with GitHub Copilot, and the lessons learned in product development, model strategy, and the future of programming in a world where software development will increasingly flow through models.

The future of agentic coding with Claude Code

The future of agentic coding with Claude Code

Anthropic's Boris Cherny, creator of Claude Code, discusses the paradigm shift from traditional coding to agentic workflows. He covers the co-evolution of models and their "harnesses," the importance of "hackability" via features like slash commands, and provides practical tips for leveraging coding agents for tasks of varying complexity.

Real World Development with GitHub Copilot and VS Code — Harald Kirschner, Christopher Harrison

Real World Development with GitHub Copilot and VS Code — Harald Kirschner, Christopher Harrison

A deep dive into "Vibe Coding," a development methodology that prioritizes outcomes over code-level details, using the advanced AI features of VS Code and GitHub Copilot. The talk explores three stages of this methodology—YOLO, Structured, and Spectrum—and demonstrates how to leverage agent modes, custom instructions, reusable prompts, and the Model Copilot Protocol (MCP) to enhance productivity from rapid prototyping to enterprise-scale development.
