The first ever Cafe Cursor in Belgium just happened in Ghent 🇧🇪

Really happy to help bring @cursor_ai to Belgium

Big thanks to @benln and @ftnabeelah for the opportunity and support throughout the entire process

Seeing engineers develop their own harnesses and others just starting out with Cursor gives me such a boost to do more community events

"how many cups do we need?" ☕️ turned out the answer was: a lot.

last saturday we hosted the first Café Cursor in Belgium at Wintercircus Ghent

really cool to see fellow builders helping each other debug, launch things, and exchange ideas like it was a mini internet cafe for the AI era.

huge thanks to Cursor team, Ben Lang, Wintercircus Ghent, Kristi S., and everyone who joined.

already excited for the next one.
