Code Is Also My Plan: Surfing with AI-Assisted Development

A practical take on Cursor plan mode, harness engineering, and why reading code now matters more than writing perfect plans.

Platform Ops in the age of AI-assisted software development

In an AI-assisted world, platform ops shifts from shipping frameworks to curating reusable skills and reference architectures that every team can contribute to.

Harness Engineering: What It Is and Why It Matters

Harness engineering means humans design the scaffolding, constraints, and feedback loops so AI agents can ship reliable work at high speed.

How to Make Your Website Agent-Friendly

Agents browse differently than humans. Here's what to add, fix, and expose so AI can find you, understand you, and complete actions instead of guessing.

Two modes of building software with AI

Software development is splitting into AI-augmented and fully agentic. One keeps humans at the wheel. The other hands the wheel over. Both work -- in different places.

Vibe Coding vs Vibe Engineering: Speed Without the Mess

Vibe coding ships fast and breaks faster. Vibe engineering uses the same AI tools but keeps the discipline that makes a PoC worth showing to anyone.

Arhythmic leadership: the art of controlling the tempo

Great leaders don’t run every moment at 10/10. They slow the room down when it’s chaotic, speed it up when it’s stuck, and use the pause like a tool.

Git worktrees for parallel agentic development

How to use git worktrees to let multiple agents (and humans) work in parallel without branch chaos.

Why AI Control Is a Strategic Necessity, Not a Tech Detail

When outcomes land on humans, not models, AI control stops being a nice-to-have and becomes part of how you actually run the business.

From Database Wrappers to LLM Wrappers: Where SaaS Is Heading

SaaS has often been a friendly wrapper around databases. The next wave is the same idea with a different engine: wrappers around LLMs that make AI-driven insights and automation usable.

Fast-Fashion Microservices: What AI Vibe-Coded Systems Get Wrong

One of microservices' core ideas was easy replacement. AI and vibe-coded services do the same thing, but faster. That's fast fashion at enterprise scale.
