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.
