I'm Lee, and I'm on the Cursor team.
And I'm going to talk about how building software has evolved.
So thanks for being here.
We started with punch cards and terminals back in the 60s, where programming was this new superpower, but it was inaccessible to most people.
And then in the 70s, programmers grew up writing BASIC on their Apple IIs and their Commodore 64s.
Then in the 80s, GUIs started to get mainstream, but still, most programming was done on text-based terminals.
It wasn't until the 90s and the 2000s that we started to see programming shift to graphical interfaces.
So FrontPage and Dreamweaver, which you might remember, allowed beginners to drag and drop and build websites.
And new editors and IDEs, like Visual Studio, made it easier for professionals to work in very large code bases.
And I, of course, had to add my favorite text editor, Sublime Text, here.
