Writing

It’s an understatement to say that in 2026 the engineering job function changed a lot. With stronger models like Claude Opus/Fable and GPT Astra, we can now delegate most coding tasks to agents while humans focus on other things.

One thing I realized building AI products is how much focus matters.

Building AI products at a startup requires speed over sophistication. We ditched complex evaluation frameworks for simple CSVs and custom scripts—and it's been surprisingly effective.

Over the past year, I’ve been working a lot more with AI. I’m not a machine learning or deep learning expert — and honestly, I never set out to be — but in the last few years AI has become a technology you just can’t ignore. And actually learning how it works has actually been a lot of fun.

Recently, I’ve been using AI extensively for my coding tasks. Mainly using Cursor IDE and its super-powered tab-completion that makes writing code much easier.
