I’m very excited to have another guest writer on my blog: OpenAI Deep Research! I didn’t write this post. I heavily relied on OpenAI’s Deep Research. I did review, clean up, and modified a little, but this is a guest post from ChatGPT ;) My prompt was: Write a comprehensive blog article, following my style,... Continue Reading →
This is the third and final post in my mini-series. In my first post, Where have all the Engineers gone?, I shared some hard questions about the current state of engineering and what it will look like a few years from now. In my second post, Rise of the Agent Director, I discuss the importance of experienced... Continue Reading →
In my last post, Where have all the Engineers gone?, I wrestled with some tough questions we're facing today, in the age of AI-powered engineering. I can't just leave it there... Just as the rise of automation and CI/CD pipelines reshaped operations teams by forcing traditional sysadmins to upskill into DevOps engineers or risk obsolescence, we’re... Continue Reading →
This is part one of a short mini series. Part 2 is Rise of the Agent Director. Part 3 is You Can’t Prompt Your Way to being a Senior Engineer. Where is my John Wayne?Where is my prairie song?Where is my happy ending?Where have all the cowboys gone?Where is my Marlboro Man?Where is his shiny gun?Where is... Continue Reading →
I grabbed my morning coffee and dove into Apple’s new paper, The Illusion of Thinking (okay fine, ChatGPT and I dove into it together). And you know what? None of this really surprised me. I've been working through creating custom "thinking" agents, leveraging reasoning models. The head-shaped-hole on my desk tells you how well it's... Continue Reading →
I’m excited to have guest writer Chelsea Lamb from Business Pop share this post! In boardrooms and basement startups alike, artificial intelligence has graduated from buzzword to backbone. The question is no longer if AI has a place in your business, but where, how, and with what expectations. There’s plenty of noise in this space — from... Continue Reading →
Photo by Mike van den Bos on Unsplash We've all been there: managing many moving pieces in our heads and then, BLAM, Slack dings, we’ve lost our perfect mental model faster than closing an unsaved file. Working with LLM agents has upped the ante in terms of what we have to keep in context in... Continue Reading →
I've spent considerable time crafting prompts for numerous professional and personal tasks and projects: knowledge retrieval, research, productivity, writing, gaming, and media. Over time, I've developed my preferred prompt-writing style. I’ve learned a few tips along the way, and expect to learn more soon. How do we write the best prompts? Keep it simple. Before...

Artificial Intelligence in software development sparks debates hotter than Star Wars fans arguing about which trilogy is best: Original, Prequels, or Sequels. (we all know it’s the Original). Tools like GitHub Copilot and Cursor promise to make coding easier and faster, but there are folks out there that strongly disagree. Why?! A little about my... Continue Reading →
While digging through a messy codebase, I stumbled upon an amazing little trick using AI agents in my IDE that instantly brought clarity. It was too cool not to share—plus, now I’ll have a handy reference to myself later. AI Agents in your IDE: Cursor and GitHub Copilot I've tested this out using Cursor and... Continue Reading →
