From Weekend Coding to Context Engineering: A Professional Development Journey

Why I Haven’t Written in a While In my last post about Home Lab, I promised a Part 2 covering agent swarms, automation workflows, and exposing services to the internet. That was back when I was doing hobby coding with Cursor, experimenting with prompt engineering, and exploring AI possibilities in my spare time.

Practical guide to setting up a Home Lab (part 1)

Home Lab is a fun way to learn and experiment, but it can also be a powerful tool for automating some of the daily tasks, without the need for 3rd party cloud or expensive SaaS licenses. For anyone, regardless of your technical background, it can be a gateway to managing your own (free!) AI/LLMs and creating automation using no-code tools like n8n (see ‘Automate Everything!’)

Interview with Cursor

Executive Summary AI-driven development is here to stay, but it is not replacing skilled developers anytime soon. Using Cursor is helpful for existing codebases. It works well when you provide the AI with small pieces of information. However, it struggles to create something big from the ground up. Too much responsibility from the start can overwhelm it. This post explores the interactions with the model used by Cursor and the feedback it gave when asked to share.

How and why did I start a blog?

The Reason For years it has always been on my mind to put some thoughts on ‘paper’ and start a blog.
