The traditional lines between Product Owners and Product Managers are blurring as AI empowers engineers to build faster. Here is how responsibilities are shifting up the chain.

Google Stitch is a free AI design tool that turns conversations into clickable prototypes. For startups and solo builders, it might be all the design tool you need.

How the .claude folder turns your repo into a self-documenting workspace where your AI coding agent already knows the rules, the style, and the plan.

Cursor launched Composer-2 this week at a third the price of Composer 1.5. For UI and front-end work, it is hard to argue with the results.

Love Cursor's Ask mode and live in the terminal? Here's how to get the same codebase-aware answers from Claude Code CLI without the agent touching a single file.

Use Claude Cowork to identify which subscriptions have no cancellation penalty and cancel them automatically. The only cost is about a minute when you want to resubscribe.

Google quietly released a CLI that gives your terminal and your AI agent direct access to Gmail, Drive, Calendar, Docs, Sheets, and more. Agents can automate real work without a browser in the loop.

Engineers, designers, and product managers each think AI has made the other two redundant; the edge goes to people who learn to wear all three hats.

A quick look at a few things that happened in the AI space this week, including DoD negotiations, new free tiers, Cursor updates, and GPT 5.4.

A pragmatic 2026 stack for shipping real products with native iOS and Android code, Vercel backend, Clerk auth, Supabase data, and direct model APIs.

With a massive free tier upgrade to 50k MAU and new AI agent skills, Clerk has solved the biggest pain points of integrating application authentication.

Vercel plus AI coding agents and GitHub previews is the fastest way I know to ship apps, even if direct AWS could be cheaper at scale.

A breakdown of the strengths and weaknesses of Opus 4.6, Codex 5.3, Sonnet 4.6, and Composer 1.5 for different development tasks.

A recent study confirms what I've suspected: giving your AI coding agent too many instructions in repository-level context files actually reduces task success.

Claude Sonnet feels completely different in Cursor, Claude Code, and Antigravity. The toolchain is the product.

Anthropic and OpenAI released their flagship models within minutes of each other. For engineers who use these tools daily, the releases change what you can ship the same afternoon.

Anthropic's Super Bowl ad mocks ChatGPT for adding ads; the open question is whether ads can actually fix AI's economics. A look at the numbers.

Anthropic's recent study found AI users scored slightly lower on a coding quiz. The research has real signal, the methodology has limits, and you can still use AI without sacrificing learning.

OpenClaw is an open-source autonomous agent framework that crossed a psychological and technical line. It does not just recommend actions, it takes them.

For senior engineers, the highest-leverage use of an AI coding agent is often reading the system, not generating code. A guide to using Ask mode to navigate complexity.

Dumping your whole codebase into an AI coding agent hurts performance; treat it like an intern and narrow what you share.

Unlock the hidden superpower of your AI coding agent: it has read every single page of documentation for every tool you use. Here is how to manage that.

We need different communication patterns with AI to unlock what these systems can do.

How I use a mistakes.md file to help AI agents learn from their errors and avoid repeating them.

Claude 4.5 is complete: how to split Opus, Sonnet, and Haiku across a Claude Code session so you get the most from the 5-hour quota.

Figuring out how to use AI is a task in itself. Ask the tool itself for instructions, prompts, and workflows—the same reflex that turns people into power users of search engines.

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is the latest trend in AI engineering. Overusing it is a fast track to context pollution and agent inefficiency.

How Anthropic's Claude Code on web has revolutionized my development workflow, letting me update websites and fix bugs from my phone across any GitHub repo. A game-changer for mobile-first development.

A practical guide to using AI planning modes effectively. Stop treating your agent like a magic wand and start treating it like a junior engineer.

A quick reflection on how Anthropic's terminal agent has changed my day-to-day life as an engineer.

Cursor is ending its truly unlimited 'Auto' model usage on September 15, 2025. Here is how to lock in 365 days of infinite tokens before the window closes.

Anthropic's Claude Code CLI is shifting the development paradigm from manual editing to high-level orchestration. It is the most impressive tool in my stack because it runs where real engineering already happens.

OpenAI's Codex Agent offers a different take on agentic coding automation—worth a look for senior engineers who know how to handle its current limitations.

A data-driven tool to compare towns across the Netherlands (and beyond) with where you live in the United States, down to town-level granularity, powered by AI and smart caching.

Cursor represents a major shift in developer productivity. Notes on getting started and where it helps senior engineers most.

The search for the 'best' model is a distraction. Focus on the tools that actually solve your problems today.
