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
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
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
My Engineering Workflow in CursorAI
Every Software Engineer follows a similar rhythm: Understand requirement → Design → Plan → Implement → Review → Test → Deploy → Monitor. That hasn’t changed for a long time. When AI is involved in the workflow, what’s changed is the speed. I also mentioned this in my FREE eBook about adapting AI in Software … Continue reading My Engineering Workflow in CursorAI
Grok Code Fast 1 vs Claude Sonnet 4.5 vs GPT-5 Codex: Which is best for coding?
It has only been a few days since Anthropic announced their new model Claude Sonnet 4.5, and I wanted to see for myself if the hype matches reality. Instead of reading benchmarks, I opened Cursor and ran some coding tests to feel it as an end user. My goal with this test wasn’t to cover … Continue reading Grok Code Fast 1 vs Claude Sonnet 4.5 vs GPT-5 Codex: Which is best for coding?
What 9 months of daily Cursor AI taught me
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 9 months of daily Cursor AI taught me
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?
