Following up on my 2025 workflows, this post explores the shift from manual prompting to agentic feedback loops. I break down why model choice now outweighs prompt engineering, how Claude Code has become my primary driver alongside Cursor, and why the "SWE II" level of AI requires a new focus on automated eval loops and organizational standards.

In this post, I share how my team spent two years building an internal developer portal, only to discover it wasn’t solving our developers’ real pain points. By implementing a developer survey, we uncovered the true challenges our developers were facing and pivoted our focus to deliver tools that made a meaningful impact. Learn how understanding developer priorities can help your team avoid building the wrong tools and drive real productivity improvements.
