How modern tools transformed my experience as an introverted engineer and tech leader
Read more →Claude Code for development, Gemini 3 Pro for visual analysis, research, and deep thinking. A slash command that routes tasks to the right model.
Read more →Google's Gemini 3 just broke every benchmark that matters. What that means for the 'AI has hit a wall' narrative, and where it actually helps.
Read more →The latest C# release continues its quiet war on ceremony with field-backed properties, extension members, and smarter spans. Here's what matters and what doesn't.
Read more →How AI and spec-driven development are fusing product management with engineering, creating a new hybrid role that's transforming how small teams ship software.
Read more →.NET 10's shebang support and file-based apps turn C# into a scripting language. No more context-switching to Python for quick scripts.
Read more →I fought to move teams from npm to pnpm. I was all in. Then a friend said 'lol use bun' and I converted every project within days. Here's why I'll never go back.
Read more →Hooks-based skill activation solves context selection (which guidelines? which tools?) but not workflow orchestration. Both patterns have their place.
Read more →From Chrome DevTools experiment to universal MCP wrapper: progressive discovery works with any server, Skills integration, and smart deduplication
Read more →Skills are auto-invoked by Claude's judgment. For engineering workflows that need predictability, slash commands give you explicit control.
Read more →Why coding interviews optimized for 2010 fail to identify great engineers in 2025, and why orgs can't adapt fast enough.
Read more →Claude Code loves to jump straight into implementation. Sometimes you need a model that thinks first. Here's how I use Codex for systems thinking and architecture decisions.
Read more →How to use slash commands to keep specialized MCP tools isolated from your main conversation context.
Read more →How I built a self-improving document parser that learns from corrections without fine-tuning. The pragmatic alternative to model training.
Read more →Real-time AI generation vs curated libraries: lessons from building the same product twice with radically different architectures.
Read more →Building a multiplayer trivia app solo with AI coding tools. Here's what worked, what didn't, and the trade-offs no one talks about.
Read more →MCPs, subagents, and automation are tempting. But the developers getting the most from Claude Code aren't rushing to advanced features - they're mastering the fundamentals.
