Coding with Claude code and LLMs: What I've learned after 3 months
Reflections on working daily with Claude Code and LLMs for three months, the benefits of full repo context, and why experience still matters.
My experience with arrogant developers
A reflection on developer culture, code consistency, and the damage caused by ego-driven decisions in software teams.
The luxury of letting ideas marinate
This post explores the power of letting ideas sit. It reflects on how having time, space, and a clear mind can lead to better solutions — especially in engineering and research. It contrasts rushed patches with well-thought-out fixes that emerge when pressure is low and the mind is calm.
I asked AI about the future of AI (Yes, AI-ception)
I wanted to know: where is AI going in the next 10+ years? Is diving deeper into large language models (LLMs) in 2025 still a good bet for developers like me? What jobs will rise? What skills will matter?
