🚨🚨🚨 Breaking news 🚨🚨🚨
In a surprising turn of events and after leaving
@vercel to join
@Meta , Lee Robinson
@leerob has been poached by
@cursor_ai to lead their team of AI Agents to fast-track reaching AGI, for the first time in human history.
We wish
@leerob the best of luck, incredibly honored to cover this story, live from San Francisco.
I'm joining Cursor to teach the future of coding!
There are millions of developers learning how to use AI and they need pragmatic advice:
1. We need to teach new developers strong foundations, so they know what to learn, and how to solve issues when debugging.
2. We need to teach experienced developers how AI can automate the tedious parts of coding, or save them time reading docs and fixing bugs.
3. We need to help developers become even more competent. AI may end up writing most of your code, but you have to review, understand, and maintain that software.
This is why some experienced devs are having a great time with AI. They can ask for a pattern like "add an exponential backoff" instead of “make it more robust to errors” which may or may not work.
I want to help developers become an order of magnitude more productive, and help more people contribute to building software.
This is going to take a *lot* of education and retraining. So expect more videos soon, and if you have ideas for what I should teach, let me know!
