Claude Code + Cursor: 30 Sessions of Combined Use
I tracked 30 development sessions using Claude Code and Cursor together. The data shows where each tool wins and where the combination fails.
AI DevelopmentStartup Validation Stack: What 12 Projects Taught Me
I validated 12 projects in 9 months. Some followed the framework. Some skipped steps. The difference in outcomes taught me which evidence actually matters.
Career & GrowthClaude Code Extensions: Organizing 139 Skills and Hooks
Claude Code offers four extension types. After building 95 hooks, 44 skills, and dozens of commands, I learned which abstraction fits which problem.
AI DevelopmentThe Pathless Path: Leaving a 12-Year VP Role to Build
I left VP of Product Design at ZipRecruiter after 12 years to build independently. No plan, no destination, just curiosity and a financial runway.
Career & GrowthOODA Loop Prompt Engineering: What Five Failures Taught Me
Five prompt failures taught me that structured observation beats clever wording. Boyd's OODA loop maps directly to my daily prompt engineering workflow.
AI & TechnologyDesign Careers That Survive AI: Judgment Over Tools
After 12 years as VP of Product Design, I watched three paradigm shifts. The skills that survived every one are the same skills AI can't replace.
Design & UXBuilding Design Teams That Ship: 12 Years of Evidence
After 12 years leading product design at ZipRecruiter, I learned which team structures ship and which polish endlessly. The patterns surprised me.
Design & UXClaude Code Hooks: Why Each of My 95 Hooks Exists
I built 95 hooks for Claude Code. Each one exists because something went wrong. Here are the origin stories and the architecture that emerged.
AI DevelopmentDesign Systems for Startups: How I Built Mine Backwards
I built my design system backwards: tokens first, components never. A CLS bug taught me the cost of skipping tokens. I stopped debating when to invest.
Design & UXCritical Yet Kind: Feedback Principles Encoded in 86 Hooks
Google's Project Aristotle found psychological safety predicts team performance. I encoded the same principles into automated code review hooks.
Career & GrowthBrutalist Web Design Meets Beauty: My Site's Approach
I built my site at the intersection of beauty and brutalism: structural honesty, precise typography, and four opacity tiers on absolute black. No colors needed.
