Notes, thoughts, and writeups from the process of building.
A practical Claude Code and Codex workflow for software engineers: discuss the idea first, lock the implementation plan, break work into epics, ship task by task, and write strong unit tests.
In the current AI era, model quality depends less on clever wording and more on the context you assemble around the task.
AI agents did not remove engineering work. They shifted the bottleneck from typing code to defining scope, guardrails, and review loops.
If your product depends on model output, you need more than anecdotes and vibes. You need evals that tell you when quality is improving or regressing.
I stopped using AI as autocomplete and started using it as an implementation partner. Here's how Claude Code reshaped my entire development workflow.
Not the advanced wizardry — just the practical patterns that show up in real codebases and make the type system work for you.
The App Router changes how you think about routing, layouts, and data fetching. Here's what you need to know to get productive fast.
