10x Developer Productivity with AI Agents: Practical Lessons from Cursor Engineer Lauren Tan

Sometimes I hand a task to an AI agent and try to work on something else, only to find myself back at the terminal watching its progress.

The code comes together quickly. But once I start checking whether it is heading in the right direction, inspecting the results, and explaining requirements it missed, stepping away turns...

How Much of a Developer's Work Can Be Automated?

Putting my judgment criteria into Claude Code’s Skills and Hooks, and automating starting from small tasks

AI Writes the Code, So Why Am I Still Busy?

When you ask AI to write code, you get results pretty quickly.

But looking back at the whole development process, there are still many things a human...

The Engineering You Must Know

This post was written after reading Vibe Engineering, a book provided by Gilbut Publishing.

At the end of my previous post, Are You Really Using AI Coding Tools Properly?, I said this:

Leave the development to AI, and leave the engineering to humans.

Not long after,...

Where exactly is AI headed right now?

As of June 18, “Gemini CLI” entered Google’s graveyard.

Instead, Google started pushing us to use “Antigravity.” Just like the “Codex app” and “Claude Desktop.”

They even split the VS Code-style app into “Antigravity IDE,” turned “Antigravity” into an agent app, and separated the existing IDE as “Antigravity IDE.”

Of course, what they all have in...

What I Learned After Writing 30,000 Lines of Code with AI in Just One Month

As the title suggests, over the past month or so, I’ve written about 20,000 lines of Spring code and about 10,000 lines of Flutter code.

Obviously, working 8 to 9 hours a day wasn’t nearly enough to write 30,000 lines of code by hand.

So, as a developer with just one year of experience who was...

Are you ready to embrace AI-driven development? (AIDD)

The development environment is changing faster than ever. GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Claude Code, Windsurf…

We have entered the “Warring States Period” of AI coding tools. For developers today, the critical question is no longer:

“Will using AI coding tools make my foundational knowledge deteriorate?”

But rather:

“How can I best utilize AI to fit my team and...

The Technical Decision-Making Process Demonstrated by Junior

The project I’m currently working on involves a pipeline that processes audio data in real time.

At first, I was developing without giving it much thought, using the existing “Spring Boot 3.4.4 & Java 17” environment set up on our servers. Since the server was built to meet specific functional requirements, I didn’t initially give much consideration to versioning, the...
