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

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
The real stages of Engineering Experience
This question came up in a chat with my team: “How do you think about different levels of experience?”. It led to a great discussion, and I think this perspective is worth sharing more widely.In software engineering, experience isn’t just about how many years you’ve been in the game. I talked a bit about this … Continue reading The real stages of Engineering Experience

Have you ever gotten a new title and suddenly felt unsure or stressed because of all the new things people expect from you? A lot of people think getting a new title will make them feel successful, but a title doesn’t magically help you do the job well. Titles sound great, Senior Engineer, Tech Lead, … Continue reading Mindset > Title
It has been 10 years
It’s been 10 years since I wrote my first blog post. I still remember that feeling of hitting the “publish” button for the first time, not knowing if anyone would read it, not even sure I wanted anyone to. It wasn’t polished. It wasn’t long. But it was honest. And it started something that quietly … Continue reading It has been 10 years
What does “Strong Engineering Culture” mean to me?
"Strong engineering culture" is a phrase you hear a lot in tech. It sounds great, but ask ten people what it really means, and you might get ten different answers. 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?
