Cursor 3 Released: The IDE Becomes Irrelevant, Agent Console Takes Over, The VS Code Era Begins to Fade

Cursor 3, codenamed Glass, represents a fundamental shift in AI-assisted development by replacing the traditional code editor with an agent management console as the primary interface. While engineers can still write code, the core design philosophy now centers on users spending most of their time directing AI agents, reviewing their outputs, and deciding which tasks to deploy. Key features include multi-repository support, a unified sidebar for all agents (local and cloud), and Cloud Handoff, which allows seamless movement of agent sessions between local and cloud environments. This release is part of Cursor's accelerated response to competitive pressure from tools like Anthropic's Claude Code. The company also recently launched Automations for triggering agents automatically, Composer 2 (its proprietary model claiming superior performance to Claude Opus), and self-hosted cloud agents for enterprise customers. The transition signals a broader industry paradigm shift where agent orchestration becomes the new control plane, similar to how cloud consoles replaced SSH for infrastructure management. This challenges the decades-long dominance of IDEs like VS Code, suggesting that software engineering roles are evolving toward overseeing AI agents rather than directly editing code. The architectural debate now centers on whether this orchestration layer should exist inside the IDE (Cursor, Google), as a separate tool (Anthropic, OpenAI), or be omnipresent.

Recalling 10 Little-Known Key Contributions of the Early TON Core Team

Despite TON Foundation being widely recognized, the early contributions of the NEWTON team—TON's core developers—are less known. As an early member, Dr. Awesome Doge recounts their pivotal role in maintaining TON testnet2 and enhancing developer tools before Telegram’s official endorsement in 2021, marking a historic community-led takeover. Key contributions include: 1. **mytonctrl**: An automated node management tool for validator setup, wallet creation, and DNS registration. 2. **tonmon**: A monitoring tool for blockchain health, tracking metrics like block time and validator status. 3. **tonmine**: A system to monitor Giver contracts, which distributed ~200,000 $TON daily. 4. **Cross-chain bridge**: Enabled transfers between TON, Ethereum, and BSC before jetton standards existed. 5. **cryptobot**: An early Telegram wallet supporting multiple cryptocurrencies. 6. **toncenter**: A public API simplifying blockchain data access for developers. 7. **explorer.toncoin.org**: TON’s first technical blockchain explorer. 8. **ton.sh**: A user-friendly blockchain explorer focusing on wallet balances and transaction memos. 9. **TonWeb**: A JavaScript SDK to simplify interactions with TON’s complex smart contract languages. 10. **ton wallet**: An early functional wallet that remains operational. In June 2021, NEWTON’s public letter to Telegram led to official recognition and GitHub access, catalyzing TON’s growth. These foundational efforts underscore the team’s belief in TON’s potential, now realized through its expanding ecosystem and developer community.
