About six months ago, my AI workflow was already useful. I had reusable commands. I had predefined templates. I had a decent setup in Cursor and later Claude Code and Codex. It was enough to make AI generate code faster, help me plan, and reduce some repeated prompting. That was already a big step up … Continue reading How my AI workflow evolved from prompts to workflow
My Experience in Agentic Engineering
It has been one year since I wrote about how much faster AI can make a team. Back then, the conversation was about speed. Today, it is about discipline. If you are still coding the same way you did two years ago, you are underperforming. Not because you are not capable. But because the leverage … Continue reading My Experience in Agentic Engineering
Tokens, Context Windows, and why your AI agent feels stupid sometimes
When an AI coding agent forgot a constraint, drifted halfway through a task, or confidently invented things that never existed, some of our first reactions are that "this model is not good enough". After using Cursor, Claude Code, and other AI coding agents daily for a long time, I changed my mind. When a capable … Continue reading Tokens, Context Windows, and why your AI agent feels stupid sometimes
AI Coding Agents Explained: Rules, Commands, Skills, MCP, Hooks
If you are an engineer today, the challenge is no longer whether AI can help you write code. The challenge is the flood of tools and concepts. Every few weeks, there is something new. Agents, rules, skills, sub-agents, MCP, hooks. Each introduces its own vocabulary, and most explanations jump straight into features without explaining why … Continue reading AI Coding Agents Explained: Rules, Commands, Skills, MCP, Hooks
I use AI DevKit to develop AI DevKit features
I built AI DevKit because I wanted a workflow that makes AI coding feel less random and more efficient. But I also know from experience that AI looks great when you demo it. The problem only surfaces when you rely on them to ship something non-trivial. I made a rule for myself. I would use … Continue reading I use AI DevKit to develop AI DevKit features
Claude Code vs Cursor
I’ve seen a lot of Cursor vs Claude Code comparisons recently. Most of them try to answer a simple question: which one writes better code? https://twitter.com/codeaholicguy/status/2006021401212256626 After using both tools daily, I think that question misses the point. I don’t see a meaningful difference in code quality between Cursor and Claude Code anymore. Once you … Continue reading Claude Code vs Cursor
Prompts are becoming Code, but we still treat them like Strings
Prompts used to be just text. You wrote a few sentences, pasted them into a chat box, tweaked the wording, and moved on. If the output was not good, you tried again. Nothing else depended on it. The cost of getting it wrong was close to zero. That phase did not last long. In The … Continue reading Prompts are becoming Code, but we still treat them like Strings
The Illusion of Output
AI makes it easy to produce output. You can generate code, designs, marketing ideas, user flows, or even a prototype in a few minutes. It looks impressive on the surface. It also creates a trap. People start to believe output means productivity. It does not. Output is cheap now. Anyone can create something. The real … Continue reading The Illusion of Output
Cursor 2.0 and Composer Model
Released on October 29, 2025, Cursor 2.0 is a major update to the AI-driven code editor that promises a new multi-agent interface and the debut of Cursor’s own coding model, Composer. As someone who uses Cursor every day, I couldn’t wait to try out the new 2.0 release. I spent some time exploring what’s new. … Continue reading Cursor 2.0 and Composer Model
A retrospective on AWS outage 2025
It started when we discovered that some of our build processes were unable to run due to failures in Docker. My first thought was the usual: “Is it us?”. I checked Docker health and found an incident from their side. Two minutes later, Twitter/X confirmed it wasn’t just us. AWS was having a bad day, and … Continue reading A retrospective on AWS outage 2025
