Vibe Coding with Cursor AI

Vibe Coding with Cursor AI: Building an Express + TypeScript REST API

I just released a new episode on my YouTube channel Tech Talk with Mani that I think you’ll enjoy:
👉 Watch it here

This is part of my Vibe Coding Series, where I explore real-world development tools and AI assistants — all in a relaxed, practical format.

🎯 In this episode, I team up with Cursor AI to build a backend REST API using Express.js + TypeScript.
We cover:
• Project setup with ts-node-dev
• Routing and folder structure
• Creating DTOs and entity layers
• Health checks and testing with Jest
• Letting AI assist in code generation and flow

⸻

🧠 Why you should watch:
• See how AI coding tools like Cursor can speed up real-world backend dev
• Learn clean code patterns using Express and TypeScript
• Follow along in a chill, step-by-step vibe — perfect for fullstack devs

⸻

If you’re into AI, TypeScript, or want to see how devs are building faster with intelligent tools, this one’s for you.

Let me know what you think, or drop your feedback — I’d love to hear it!
Also open to collaborations or coding hangouts 🧑‍💻🎥

Thanks,
Mani
