  • I use multiple AI coding tools. Claude Code, Cursor, OpenCode. They each give access to different models, and I switch between them depending on what I need. I want them all to follow the same project instructions. That shouldn’t be complicated. It is. AGENTS.md was supposed to fix this. One Markdown file, no special syntax, […]

  • Built on borrowed code

    There’s a narrative that keeps coming up in discussions about AI: that it’s all built on theft. That the models powering Claude, Cursor and others were trained on open source code without permission. That developers never consented to having their work scraped and fed into these systems. I get it. And yes, there’s something uncomfortable […]

  • There’s an interesting contradiction in how we talk about AI. There’s panic on one side. AI is coming for our jobs. Developers will be obsolete. The robots are taking over. On the other side: people casually trying to get AI to generate a thousand startup ideas, register the domains, build landing pages, and deploy them. […]

  • The era of writing code

    The role of software developers is changing. Not gradually, not theoretically. But right now. And it’s happening faster than most of us expected. For years, our value was in writing code. Understanding syntax, knowing the quirks of languages and frameworks, translating requirements into working software. That’s shifting. The value is moving from writing syntax to […]
