Witness a live conference talk where two AI-powered IDEs, Cursor and Windsurf, compete head-to-head in building a smart light bulb controller from scratch. Watch as these AI-driven development environments attempt to handle complete software workflows autonomously, from initial project setup through feature implementation, testing, debugging, and optimization. Discover whether these next-generation tools can truly function as full development agents rather than mere code assistants, as they tackle a project neither the presenters nor the AI have built before. Experience this real-time demonstration where the audience determines the winner based on performance and whether the final demos actually work, providing insights into whether AI IDEs represent a genuine transformation in software development or simply another evolutionary step in programming tools.
