A lot of engineers want to learn agentic engineering now. I think many of them are starting from the wrong end. They jump straight into MCP, multi-agent systems, autonomous workflows, and every shiny demo on X. It looks exciting and also feels like the future. But for most engineers, that is not the right place … Continue reading A practical roadmap to learn agentic engineering

The new 10x Engineer with AI
The idea of the “10x engineer” has always been a bit controversial. Some people see it as a myth. Some people see it as a harmful label that creates hero culture. Some people have worked with engineers who clearly create much more impact than others, and believe the idea is real. I sit somewhere in … Continue reading The new 10x Engineer with AI
AI adoption is not AI maturity
I used to think the hard part was getting people to use AI. Now I think that is only the first step. AI is becoming part of how we write, build, research, design, analyze, and operate. That is a good thing. I use AI heavily myself, and I believe it can meaningfully increase the leverage … Continue reading AI adoption is not AI maturity
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
The Turning Point in AI
Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been evolving for decades, but we’ve now hit an inflection point where AI is moving from research labs into everyday tools, and everyone now talks about AI. Just as electricity transformed every industry a century ago, AI is in a position to have a similar sweeping impact. In particular, the emergence … Continue reading The Turning Point in AI
Lessons from a Decade of Complexity: Microservices to Simplicity
Microservice architecture has been a topic of many discussions and different opinions among software engineers. A decade ago, microservices were seen as a way to solve all the challenges of building and scaling large systems. Many teams believed it was the future. But now, after seeing how it plays out in real-world situations, many of … Continue reading Lessons from a Decade of Complexity: Microservices to Simplicity
How much faster can AI actually make your team?
As a leader, you've probably asked yourself: "With AI becoming better at coding, how much time could my team realistically save? Could we speed up development by three or even ten times?" Let's explore this thoughtfully, understanding exactly where AI adds value and where human intuition remains important. The insights shared here are based purely … Continue reading How much faster can AI actually make your team?
Reimagining Software Engineering, What’s next for Engineers for the AI-Powered future?
In my previous post, I shared my perspective on why AI won't replace human software engineers anytime soon. In this post, I want to share another perspective on the growing role of AI in software engineering and how it’s transforming the way we work. AI will change the dynamics of how software engineering teams function, … Continue reading Reimagining Software Engineering, What’s next for Engineers for the AI-Powered future?
