Islamabad:
A couple of weeks ago, the name Sualeh Asif began combined with the abbreviation MIT MADE TO MAKE SOCIAL MEDIA when people discovered that the young man from Pakistan is one of the minds behind the cursor, the AI-driven cod editor that was appreciated at $ 9.9 billion, taking the AI start scene by storm.
The marker team appeared in the first performance in Pakistan at a meeting of Islamabad, which over a hundred builders, tech enthusiasts and students were eager to participate in the future of programming.
The event hosted the National Incubation Center and included a live demonstration of Cursor’s Build-On-Command capacities by his Pakistan ambassador, Yahya Qureshi, a speech from Antematter Engineer, Zohaib Adnan, about how the product has changed programming in their company and a Q&A session with Cursor Developer, Juan Batista Martinez, with in zoom.
The cursor allows developers to generate code and build programs by simply describing what they want it to do. In response, the software prints ready for use code lines that can be further edited through further prompts to incorporate new features, correct errors and more.
“For those who do not know the concept, this is known as vibe coding,” explained the marker ambassador, Yahya. “You no longer have to write thousands of code lines one by one. You can be out on a trip or run, and you just need to have entered a task in the cursor so that once you have reached your destination, your code will be ready,” he added enthusiastically.
Several tech companies, including Speech Mabad, EynVision and others, appeared at the event, curious about how the cursor can help upgrade their work. “Since the use of the cursor, our developers at Antematter spend much less time doing the grinning work and more time to innovate and invest energy to come up with critical solutions,” said Zohaib Adnan as he shared how AI has transformed the development.
Marker developer Juan Martinez repeated the same thoughts when asked what vibe coding means for the engineers’ future in the job market. “AI is not here to replace engineers. We need people for their ability to exercise creativity and think critically,” he said. “Marker is not about removing the work people are doing. It’s about what can be achieved when people work with AI’s power.”
Many from the audience asked questions about the cursor’s features and future updates to Juan. Some even shared feedback based on their own experience using the software.
The cursor team was overwhelmed by the answer and interest that society showed in Pakistan, where the ambassador said he was amazed to see the projects people have been working on using the cursor they shared at the Pakistan WhatsApp Group cursor. “This is only the beginning. We plan to host many more meetings, including workshops and hackathons over Pakistan,” announced Yahya.
The participants expressed their satisfaction with the chance to interact with the market team in Pakistan, while others on social media expressed that they could not wait for a similar event in their cities. “Events like these are a good thing for the technical space in Pakistan,” said a computer science student, Amama. “The possibilities of interacting with talented people in the field are rare for us, so this was very refreshing,” she said.
