Stephen Downes

I was surprised yesterday when instead of the usual audience of zero people my livestream of 'Stephen Follows Instructions' attracted dozens. The fame! 'Stephen Follows Instructions' is a series where I try to follow instructions for various software products and services. In this episode I was trying to learn Typescript. Anyhow, in the chat participants mentioned several AI coding assistants. This link, Cursor, is one. Another two were Windsurf and Bubble. Of course I'll be trying these out, though it should be noted that pricing ranges from $US 15-30 per month. So I will likely continue to just use VS Code, which doesn't cost me anything.
