Agents, MCP, and what a 19-hour build changed about how I think

Posted by & filed under .

The Calendrz Smart Scheduler went from first commit to default-enabled in production in 19 hours. Here’s the architecture — manual agent loop, 13 scheduler tools mirroring 30 MCP tools, prompt caching on two breakpoints — and the meta-story about AI-assisted coding compressing what used to be a sprint into a day.

Voice + MCP: The Interface That Finally Kills the Dashboard

Posted by & filed under , .

In my previous post, I argued that UIs are becoming optional: that MCP turns your AI assistant into an IDE where every product is just a plugin.

How I Revived a 3-Year Side Project in One Week Using AI Agents

Peter Drucker coined the phrase “Management is doing things right; leadership is doing the right thing“. While this quote is about management vs leadership, it can be easily translated into engineering especially nowadays to separate 10X’ers from the rest. Remember when you spent three weeks refactoring that authentication system to use the “proper” design patterns, […]
