A lazy Sunday note: Build the thing that lasts

It was a slow Sunday afternoon. Instead of watching a random show on Netflix, my wife and I randomly opened the original iPhone keynote from 2007, and decided to watch it. Steve Jobs was on stage, wearing a black turtleneck, revealing a product that changed everything. My wife’s a product designer. We paused often, rewinding … Continue reading A lazy Sunday note: Build the thing that lasts →

Some talk about speed, some about code quality, some about innovation. There’s no single right definition, and that’s okay. Culture is shaped by people, context, … Continue reading What does “Strong Engineering Culture” mean to me? →

What I learned using CursorAI every day as an Engineer

CursorAI is an AI-powered code editor (built on VS Code) that integrates a large language model (LLM) directly into your development workflow. Instead of just autocompleting code, Cursor can predict multi-line edits, apply changes across your codebase, and even answer questions about your code. I have shared that if you use AI effectively, it will … Continue reading What I learned using CursorAI every day as an Engineer →
