Over the past year, AI‑assisted development has grown beyond autocomplete suggestions and chat‑based help. We’re now entering what I see as the agentic phase of software engineering — where coding assistants behave more like collaborators. Instead of responding to one‑off prompts, they internalize context, follow […]
Over the past year, the conversation around AI‑assisted coding has shifted from awe to practicality. We’ve moved past the “wow” phase of generating full‑stack apps from a single prompt and started asking tougher questions — can we maintain this code? Can we extend it? Does […]
For the past month, I’ve been unusually quiet on social media and my personal blog — for good reason. I’ve spent most of my time participating in two hackathons, Kiroween and Codegeist, with three projects submitted in total. Ever since 2021, I’ve never to miss […]
Just about a week ago, I finally got my invite to use Kiro. It was one of the long awaited tool that I love to try given the hype around it. Why? I just like the concept of how they separate out the “spec” to […]
Recently, one of the world largest remote hackathon just ended. If you have not heard about it, is literally called World’s Largest Hackathon presented by Bolt. A total of 128768 participants and 9582 projects submitted. This is in fact one of the highest I ever […]
How it started I used to have my own handy Bursa Whale tool for me to have a high-level glance of all the insider and institution purchases and selling in the Bursa market. I have a script that will read the announcement from the Bursa […]
While the economy uncertainty has been looming around. It has puts a lot of pressure on the leadership team to increase productivity or cutting costs. The latter is the easy way to win the battle, but lose to the war. In true leadership fashion, we […]
Looking back at my own journey in tech, from hackathons fueled by caffeine and sheer determination to leading teams pushing the boundaries of what’s possible, one thing has become crystal clear: innovation isn’t just about having great ideas; it’s about creating an environment where those […]
There is a weird trend that is happning in the software development space on Reddit. Is called “Vibe Coding”. What is it about? Vibe coding, as coined by Andrej Karpathy, is essentially “fully giving in to the vibes” and forgetting that code even exists. Instead […]
This year, one pivotal moments that shaped my growth as an engineering manager is this. Shift from managing tasks to owning outcomes. It was also due to the shrinking in team size, that we have to make a tough call to merge team. Definitely not […]
