Why Cursor Changes Everything
See what AI-first development looks like in practice
Cursor isn't just an editor with AI bolted on. It's the first IDE built from the ground up for AI-native development. And with Cursor 3, it just got dramatically better.
Here's what you'll learn in this masterclass: - Using Cmd+K for instant inline edits - Multi-file editing with Composer - Bugbot for automated debugging - Agent mode for autonomous code generation - Custom rules with .cursorrules - Building a complete full-stack project
The project we'll build — DevDash — is a developer dashboard that pulls your GitHub activity, deployment status, and project metrics into one view. It's a real Next.js app that you'll actually want to use.
Cursor Pro gives you access to the best AI models (Claude, GPT-4), unlimited Cmd+K uses, and Bugbot — all features we'll use heavily in this course. The free tier has usage limits that would interrupt the workflow.
By the end, you'll understand why developers who switch to Cursor report shipping 5-10x faster. It's not hype — it's a fundamentally different way to write code.
Let's start by getting Cursor Pro set up on your machine.
