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 Explained: Rules, Commands, Skills, MCP, Hooks
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.

Claude Code vs Cursor
I’ve seen a lot of Cursor vs Claude Code comparisons recently. Most of them try to answer a simple question: which one writes better code? https://twitter.com/codeaholicguy/status/2006021401212256626 After using both tools daily, I think that question misses the point. I don’t see a meaningful difference in code quality between Cursor and Claude Code anymore. Once you … Continue reading Claude Code vs Cursor

My memo to the team about AI trend
The rise of AI is no longer just a hype, it’s reshaping the way we work, especially in engineering. Over the past year, I’ve heard a lot of conversations about whether AI will replace software engineers. I’ve said this before, and I still stand by it: AI won’t replace engineers. But it will change the … Continue reading My memo to the team about AI trend
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?
The Missing Piece in AI Adoption for Organizations
AI tools are being plugged into more workflows every day, from writing code to analyzing data. But here’s the reality most leaders are starting to see: Adding AI doesn’t magically deliver value. In fact, without the right foundation, it can slow teams down. Many organizations are trying AI tools, hoping for quick wins, but often, … Continue reading The Missing Piece in AI Adoption for Organizations
