When building AI DevKit, I had to look much deeper into different coding agent harnesses. Each one has its own structure, workflow, and mental model. In this post, I’ll share what I learned from digging into Claude Code hooks. Claude Code has 27 hook events. I went through all of them. Most are not worth … Continue reading I read every Claude Code hook so you don’t have to

A practical roadmap to learn agentic engineering
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
More agents, same human brain
I have been running multiple coding agents at the same time for a while now. Sometimes I have Claude Code working on one feature, Codex reviewing a plan, Gemini CLI exploring another direction, and another Claude session fixing a smaller issue in parallel. On paper, this sounds like the future of software engineering. One engineer, … Continue reading More agents, same human brain
How to become a 10x engineer with AI
In the previous post, I shared my perspective on the new 10x engineer in the AI era. A modern 10x engineer creates outsized impact by turning unclear problems into safe, shippable outcomes with less friction across the team. AI helps with that, but only if the engineer knows how to use it well. This is … Continue reading How to become a 10x engineer with AI
Claude Code Guide: How to use Claude Code like you’ve used it for a year
Most Claude Code tutorials stop at "install it and start chatting". That gets you maybe 20% of what the tool does. The other 80% comes from understanding how context, modes, subagents, and hooksfit together. It's the stuff that's technically in the docs but reads as marketing until you've burned a few thousand tokens learning it … Continue reading Claude Code Guide: How to use Claude Code like you’ve used it for a year
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
How my AI workflow evolved from prompts to workflow
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
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: Skills vs Commands vs Plugins vs Hooks Explained
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: Skills vs Commands vs Plugins vs Hooks Explained
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
