Notes from a walk with Cursor's Ian Huang in San Francisco: coding agents, product validation and startups, then personal brand, education, philosophy, and how to build the life you actually want.
Hugging Face solves a different problem than GitHub. How ML engineers use both platforms, and why models and datasets live on Hugging Face.
See how Claude Code, LangGraph, and n8n split GTM engineering work — operator harness, reasoning engine, and automation glue — with real workflow examples.
Clay's GTM engineering stack shows the difference between production agent frameworks like LangGraph and operator harnesses like Claude Code or Codex.
DESIGN.md is Google's open file format for handing your entire design system to an AI coding agent — like a CLAUDE.md, but for design. Here's what's in it, what Atlassian found when they stress-tested it, and why it's a near-perfect fit for a small site like this one.
Ramp built Inspect, Stripe built Minions, Block built goose. Cursor and Claude Code exist and are excellent — so why are these companies rolling their own? The answer is context, integration, and ownership, and it says something about where the moat in AI engineering actually sits.
A plain-English guide to the three features that decide what an AI agent can do — MCP (access), Skills (a toolbox it chooses from), and Workflows (a strict assembly line) — with the analogy that finally made them click for me.
Notes on restraint, typography, and the small details that make a minimal site feel intentional rather than empty.
