Becoming a tech lead was the goal from pretty early in my career. I had a clear picture of what the role was. More responsibility, more influence over the work, more of the interesting problems landing on my desk because someone had to figure them out and that someone, finally, would be me. It read like the natural next step. The thing you graduate to once you're good enough. What that picture did
Vibe coding is a good starting point, but it is not where serious AI-assisted development ends. The next step is agentic engineering: using AI coding agents inside a controlled engineering workflow, with context, tests, review and clear boundaries. Vibe coding often focuses on the generated output: Ask for feature -> get code -> run it -> ask for fixes Agentic engineering focuses on the system ar

I have been meaning to upgrade my personal site to Astro 6 for a while. The release notes sat in my open tabs for weeks, and every time I sat down to do it, I found an excuse to work on something else. This week, I finally ran out of excuses. I carved out an afternoon, ran npx @astrojs/upgrade, crossed my fingers, and expected a smooth ride. The dev server crashed immediately with a cryptic error
For years, I called myself a web designer. Then a developer. Then a digital consultant. None of those titles ever felt quite right. Because clients weren't just asking me to build things. They were asking me to solve problems. Slow sites, broken checkouts, confusing navigation, teams that couldn't figure out how to update their own content. That's when I realized what a technology solutions profes

Vibe coding is one of those terms that sounds unserious until you notice how many people are actually doing it. The basic idea is simple: describe what you want, let an AI coding tool generate the implementation, run it, adjust the prompt, and keep going. It can feel magical. It can also go wrong very quickly. Vibe coding works best when the problem is visible and forgiving: small prototypes inter
I've been working remotely for a while, and most of what I picked up in the first six months turned out to be wrong, or wildly overrated. Not bad advice exactly. Most of it sounds reasonable when you read it. It just isn't doing the work it claimed to. The "wake up at 5am, dedicate a workspace, use the Pomodoro technique, journal every morning" stack is a kind of theater. Some of it helps a little
