Cursor Development 201
A Practical Guide to Building Robust, AI-Accelerated Software Workflows in Cursor Cursor is not just an IDE with AI bolted on — it is a development environment designed around the assumption that AI will participate directly in the coding loop. This shifts the role of the engineer from sole author to technical director: you shape the […]
The Final Horizon: How Science Fiction Froze Our Imagination — and AI Finished the Job
TL;DR: Science fiction taught us to treat the cosmos as unknowably vast, and we stopped trying to understand it. Cosmology became a postgraduate pursuit instead of a public curiosity. The Renaissance and the Industrial Revolution democratized knowledge; the AI revolution is privatizing it. 1. When Wonder Replaced Curiosity As a kid, I never understood why […]
Building Intelligent Data Query Systems with Amazon Bedrock Knowledge Base and Redshift
Introduction In today’s data-driven world, organizations are constantly seeking ways to make their data more accessible to non-technical users. Traditional SQL queries require specialized knowledge and can be intimidating for business users who need quick insights from their data. Amazon Bedrock Knowledge Base with Redshift integration offers a revolutionary solution that bridges this gap by enabling natural […]
Case Study: Automating Google and Jira Admin Tasks with AWS AgentCore
Executive Summary Administrative tasks in Google Workspace and Jira have consumed hundreds of staff hours for our team each quarter. These tasks — ranging from user provisioning to project setup — were repetitive, error-prone, and often delayed due to backlogs. By building a Slack-first automation interface powered by AWS AgentCore primitives (Gateway, Memory, Identity), we achieved a 90% reduction in admin time for common […]
Culture is the Code
Organizational change, rather than technical performance, will drive successful adoption of Agentic AI. Enterprise software has always carried an implicit theory of organization. Mainframes embodied centralization. ERPs encoded bureaucratic workflows. Rule engines and decision trees promised certainty by reducing ambiguity to fixed logic. These systems were designed for a world that valued compliance, stability, and efficiency over adaptability. […]
Kiro AI IDE vs Cursor AI IDE
Pros, Cons, and Key Differences between two great AI IDEs As AI-assisted development tools continue to evolve, choosing the right IDE can significantly impact your coding productivity and workflow. After extensive hands-on testing with both Kiro AI IDE and Cursor AI IDE, I want to share my detailed comparison and insights to help you make an informed decision. […]
Hybrid Intelligence: Marrying Deterministic Code with LLMs for Robust Software Development
Balancing Rule-Driven Precision with Generative Flexibility Executive Summary Traditional software, built solely on deterministic, rule-based logic, guarantees reliability and predictability but often struggles to adapt. Large language models (LLMs), by contrast, offer flexibility and cognitive capabilities but can be unpredictable. A hybrid approach — combining deterministic code with LLM-driven reasoning — yields systems that […]
Using Core Concepts of Computational Linguistics with RAG
A super colorful infographic ChatGPT created for this article. How linguistic fundamentals shape the design and performance of retrieval-augmented generation systems In a previous article, I discussed the core concepts of computational linguistics that every language model, big and small, needs to have. This article will discuss the core components of retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) models, show […]
Ship Clean Code Faster: A Pragmatic Guide to Using Cursor Effectively
TL;DR — Cursor can 2× your delivery speed if you install hard guardrails. This guide shows how rule files, checkpoint‑and‑restore, test‑driven development, and ruthless pruning let you bank that speed without inflating technical debt. Why Bother Reading Another AI‑Coding Post? Most “AI pair‑programmer” articles stop at shiny demos. They rarely answer the question architects lose sleep over: How do we prevent the […]
FlyngLlama: Combining Robyn and LlamaIndex for Intelligent Document Analysis
A document-devouring llama with Robyn wings that soars through your data! Performance Optimized Retrieval Augmented Generation Introduction In today’s data-driven environment, organizations are challenged to extract meaningful insights from their vast collections of documents. The ability to quickly locate precise information in sources such as legal contracts, research papers, knowledge bases, and technical documentation is […]
