I’m a UI engineer turned founder with a background in startups. I co-founded QED in 2021, grew it, and eventually sold it to The Sandbox. Now, I’m focused on building in AI.
Where to focus investments to best leverage AI tooling
A personal recap of 2025 and a year of a new style of engineering.
It's probably fine--unless you care about self-improvement or taking pride in your work.
In all of the debates about the value of AI-assistance in software development there’s one depressing anecdote that I keep on seeing: the junior engineer, empowered by some class of …
Claude Code nails developer experience. But as capabilities grow, so does complexity. The best tools disappear - they don't become things you have to manage.
I’ve been in the mobile development industry for almost 15 years, and this AI/LLM era might be the worst. My work are mostly freelance, gigs, hourly, mile...

A lot of people say AI will make us all “managers” or “editors”…but I think this is a dangerously incomplete view!
Hey folks. You know how programming is hard in 1994. You need books, help files, manuals, references to learn about a certain feature. You read all those. Then you go through endless iteration of trial and errors to find out how to accomplish a certain task. Well, I found a revolutionary way to write code. You see, I got this CD-ROM from a friend. It's full of public domain sample code for every kind of application you could write. You want to write a file manager like Norton Commander? Well,
I've done quite a few projects with ChatGPT. I just can't vibe (no pun intended) with any of the agent tools or AI plugins etc. Also not having to worry about API costs is the main reason so I can be as spammy as I like.
I feel like vibe coding is pretty well established now as covering the fast, loose and irresponsible way of building software with AI—entirely prompt-driven, and with no attention paid to …
A 40-year coding veteran explores AI pair programming with Cursor, finding 2X productivity gains, new challenges, and a synergistic human-machine alliance.
A personal guide on using AI Code Prep GUI, Cline, and various free AI web interfaces like Gemini, Grok, Deepseek, and Poe for cost-effective coding and debugging.
It is wild to think that it has been only a handful of weeks. Claude Code has considerably changed my relationship to writing and maintaining code at scale. I still write code at the same level of quality, but I feel like I have a new freedom of expression which is hard to fully articulate.

That's a big topic :D

A guide to programming in the age of AI and LLM assistance
The latest installment from Steve Yegge on viiiiibe coding and what that means for developer jobs.
A detailed walkthrough of my current workflow for using LLms to build software, from brainstorming through planning and execution.
Many staff are using AI at work without the permission of their employers.
I’m a huge fan of Claude’s Artifacts feature, which lets you prompt Claude to create an interactive Single Page App (using HTML, CSS and JavaScript) and then view the result …
Generative AI has completely changed the way I approach software design. I don't think I could ever go back.
