If you’re a developer, you’ve probably seen Cursor IDE making waves recently.

It’s been everywhere, and after five years with VS Code, I made the switch — for now.

Cursor is a fork of VS Code but adds powerful AI features like autocomplete, inline edits, and a composer.

If you’re familiar with VS Code, the transition is seamless.

So you can still use all your settings, themes, extensions, and most importantly, the interactive window!

In this week’s video, I dive into these AI features, show how they can improve your coding workflow, and help you decide if Cursor is right for you.

Talk soon,

Dave

P.S. We’ve temporarily closed enrollment for Data Freelancer as we’ve hit our capacity. But don’t worry — some exciting updates are coming soon. We're working on some big things behind the scenes for both Datalumina as a company and the Data Freelancer program. Stay tuned for more details!
