What is Developer Tools 2.0 (DevTool2.0): Introducing Cursor and ILLA Cloud
Learn how AI-powered developer tools are changing the way we code and discover two examples of such tools: Cursor.so and ILLA Cloud.

Software development is a challenging and creative process that requires a lot of human intelligence, skill, and collaboration. However, it also involves many tedious and repetitive tasks that can slow down productivity, introduce errors, and reduce quality. For example, developers spend a lot of time debugging code, writing tests, reviewing code, documenting code, setting up environments, deploying code, and more.
What if there was a way to automate some of these tasks and make software development faster, easier, and more enjoyable? This is where AI-powered developer tools come in. These are tools that leverage artificial intelligence techniques such as machine learning, natural language processing, computer vision, and more to assist developers in various aspects of software development.
AI-powered developer tools are not meant to replace human developers, but rather to augment their capabilities and enhance their workflow. They can help developers write better code, find and fix bugs, improve code quality, generate documentation, optimize performance, and more. They can also help developers learn new skills, collaborate with others, and discover new insights.
In this blog post, we will introduce two examples of AI-powered developer tools available today or in development: Cursor and ILLA Cloud. We will explore their features, benefits, costs, and user feedback. We will also discuss some of the challenges and limitations of AI-powered developer tools and how to use them responsibly and critically.
What is DevTools 2.0?
DevTools 2.0 is a term used to describe the new generation of developer tools that use AI-generated functions to help developers write code more efficiently. These tools can generate code snippets based on natural language input or existing code. They can also provide suggestions, documentation, examples, and feedback for the code. They can also integrate with other tools such as chat platforms or code repositories to facilitate collaboration and communication.
DevTools 2.0 is different from the traditional developer tools that rely on manual input or predefined rules. DevTools 2.0 can learn from data and context and provide more intelligent and personalized assistance. DevTools 2.0 can also adapt to different programming languages, frameworks, domains, and scenarios.
DevTools 2.0 is part of a broader trend of using AI to augment human capabilities in various domains. They represent a new paradigm of more intelligent, efficient, and collaborative software development. They are the future of software development and they are here to stay.
