The Rise of No-Code Platforms: Empowering a New Generation of Builders One technology company that I’m excited about is Cursor, an AI-first coding platform that is revolutionising the way we build software. While co-pilots like GitHub’s Copilot have enhanced developers’ productivity by suggesting code, Cursor takes it a step further with its Composer feature, fundamentally changing how applications are built from scratch. The shift from code suggestions to AI-generated applications is a game-changer. ...

TypeScript’s momentum is unmistakable. Conversations with engineers and insights from the TypeScript Congress 2023 highlight its growing prominence. JetBrains’ Developer Survey shows TypeScript’s user share has tripled from 12% in 2017 to 34% in 2022 and 2023. TypeScript: Scaling JavaScript for the Enterprise As a superset of JavaScript, TypeScript extends the language by adding static typing. This enhancement allows developers to explicitly define data types, embedding context directly into the code. The result is “JavaScript that scales,” facilitating quicker onboarding, improved team collaboration, and earlier bug detection. Beyond scalability, TypeScript’s computational capabilities make it increasingly vital for AI applications, especially as more developers integrate Large Language Models (LLMs) into their projects. ...
