Your agentic app just ran a search. The tool returned 500 results as JSON. Your agent appended all of it and fired off an API call — 45,000 tokens to answer a question that needed maybe 4,500. Tejas Manohar, a senior engineer at Netflix, hit this problem every day. He was running out of tokens […]
Read More →You give your AI coding agent a task. It gets to work. Thirty tool calls later you have code — and it’s not what you needed. The agent understood the words but missed the intent. It made a dozen small decisions that individually seemed reasonable, and collectively built the wrong thing. This isn’t a capability […]
Read More →If you take one thing from Claude Code, make it this: Explore → Plan → Code → Commit. The developers who skip straight to “write me the code,” then spend the next hour arguing with the output. This workflow exists to prevent that. Explore Before writing a single line, Claude needs context. Without it, you get […]
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 […]
