Everyone’s buzzing about “prompt engineering” or “vibe coding” using tools like Cursor or Windsurf to turn text prompts into code. It feels exciting, but it’s fundamentally limited. Why? Because text prompts require massive, precise context to work…
AI Doesn’t Just Need More Compute — It Needs Better Ways to Think
AI reasoning is often misunderstood. We assume that once a model is trained, it simply retrieves knowledge and applies it to solve complex problems — but real intelligence isn’t that simple. When I was building language model-powered workflows at…
