Forward Deployed Engineer (FDE) is the most in-demand technical role in AI right now. Not because of the title, because of the problem it solves. AI research labs are shipping capabilities faster than enterprises can absorb them. The gap between what is technically possible and what is actually running in production is enormous, and closing […]
Read More →A practical guide for developers navigating Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Windsurf, Codex, and beyond. You switch from Cursor to Claude Code. Or from Copilot to Windsurf. The interface is different. The shortcuts are different. The config file has a new name. And for a moment, it feels like you’re starting from scratch. You’re not. Under […]
Read More →The rise of AI coding assistants—Cursor, Claude, GitHub Copilot—has shifted the main challenge from writing code to communicating intent. When engineers give an LLM a vague feature description or unstructured prompt, the model often drifts. It invents edge cases, guesses API endpoints, or generates lots of valid code that solves the wrong problem. To keep […]
Read More →Using AI for coding right now is like using an automated CNC machine for every single cut in a carpentry shop. It’s fast. The joints fit perfectly today. But if you never pick up a hand saw or chisel, never learn the grain of the wood, your creative muscles atrophy. You’re trading your future mastery […]
Read More →In 1986, Fred Brooks published No Silver Bullet—Essence and Accident in Software Engineering in IEEE Computer. He made a careful, almost reluctant prediction: There is no single development, in either technology or management technique, which by itself promises even one order-of-magnitude improvement within a decade in productivity, in reliability, in simplicity. Forty years later — almost exactly — […]
