Official Session Summary

Pulled from the live conference page.

We've been hearing a lot about how IDEs are dying. But, are they really dead? My view is that the definition of what an IDE is will change. There are still essential IDE-like features which are necessary for productive software engineers to do their job, but there are also a million other things which are not required anymore. I'll go through some fun examples from my experience at Cursor, and show you some of our explorations for the future of the IDE interface.

Why This Slot Matters

A compact framing layer for navigating the conference.

This is one of the more substantive abstract-backed sessions on the schedule; worth opening when you need enough context to decide whether to stay in the room.
