Building Cursor for Community: A Buildathon Built on Time Pressure
Over the weekend, I attended an event hosted by Cursor Kenya, bringing together developers, builders, and tech enthusiasts to explore modern AI-assisted development workflows and collaboration tools.
The sessions focused on how developers can build faster using AI, improve productivity, and rethink how software is developed in collaborative environments. We also got introduced to tools like Sentry for monitoring and debugging applications, received credits to experiment with, and later moved into a buildathonchallenge.
What followed was not just a coding exercise, but a very tight constraint problem: we had one hour to build a working prototype.
That constraint became the foundation of everything we built.
