Amazon's cloud unit introduced Kiro, an AI-assisted coding program, aiming to transform software development. This comes shortly after Google announced hiring staff from AI coding startup Windsurf under a $2.4 billion deal and plans to enhance its Gemini AI for developers. Both Amazon and Google are advancing "vibe coding," while Microsoft updated Visual Studio Code for automated development. Kiro helps manage complexity in vibe coding by defining requirements and tasks before coding, and can create flow diagrams and task lists. Currently, Kiro supports only English, with more languages to come. There will be free and premium options post-preview, with strict privacy for paying users. https://kiro.dev/ #Kiro #AWS #GeminiAI #Windsurf #VisualStudioCode #AICoding #VibeCoding #LowCode #NoCode #SoftwareDevelopment #AIDevelopment #AI #CloudComputing #AmazonAI #GoogleAI #Microsoft #FlowDiagram #TaskManagement #EnglishLanguage #PrivacyFocused #Programming #CodingTools

Have you seen Cursor's unlimited usage Pro Plan ??? Things are really shaking up and l wonder if the Windsurf sale has anything to do with it ? 🤔 Cursor offers several plans, including a free option for individuals, Pro for power users, and Enterprise for teams. An Ultra plan is available for $200/month, providing 20 times more usage than the Pro plan. These plans have different tiers, quotas, and billing options for models and team accounts. This suggests that while there isn't a truly 'unlimited' plan, the Ultra plan caters to users with very high usage needs, providing a substantial increase in resources. https://www.cursor.com/pricing
