My notes on things that interest me, including product design, system design, banking, engineering management, personal takes, AI, and more.
- A compiler transpiles C to assembly. What does AI transpile?
Comparing a compiler's C-to-assembly translation with AI turning plain language into code, and where the analogy breaks.
- Building your Agentic AI system
Start with prompts, add retrieval for missing knowledge, and build agentic workflows only when a task truly needs tools and multiple steps.
- My personal AI SDLC
I use 2 connected loops to keep product direction with human-led while agents assist and then build approved work.
