Really enjoyed this six-session Wise Wednesday journey with Agent Boutique AI"
""
"What started as a small idea at home turned into an opportunity to go much deeper into Speech AI, learn along the way, and share that learning with the team."
""
"The idea came from my son wanting to write “I went to school” in his diary. In his head, "went" was spelled "vnt", and he kept asking his mother for help."
""
"I told him, "It’s your personal diary. Just write whatever you want. Spelling mistakes are okay.""
""
"But I also wanted to solve the underlying problem without anyone else having to enter his little diary world."
""
"That became Little Voices, made with love for kids, built with Claude, but guided by completely human taste. In this case, mine."
""
"From there, the Little Voices demo became the starting point for six Wednesdays of exploring Speech AI from the ground up: audio processing, Whisper, live transcription, streaming architectures, and eventually Moonshine v2."
""
"One question that kept us particularly curious was:"
""
"Why does a live transcript feel slower the longer someone talks?"
""
"Going deep enough to find the answer was one of my favourite parts of the journey."
""
"I am grateful to Agent Boutique AI for creating the space and giving me the opportunity to explore, experiment, and share this with the team. That is what I really like about the Wise Wednesday idea: it gives us permission to go beyond “knowing about” something and actually build a deeper understanding together."
""
"Thank you to everyone #ABAI-Team who participated, asked questions, challenged ideas, and made these sessions so much fun."
""
"And if you are working with real-time transcription, voice assistants, or streaming audio, the Whisper vs. Moonshine v2 comparison in this series is worth a look."
""
"Always grateful for opportunities where learning and sharing become the same thing."

Fri, 14 Aug 2026 11:21:59 +0000

So, now, the million dollar question, how do we become "power developers" in the age of AI agents? (Especially, if you are a fresher or a developer with no strong system design background)"
""
"Here is my take on this:"
""
"For some time, try a different way of working."
""
"Offload your current implementation work to your coding assistant."
""
"While your agent is crushing the assigned task, don't just wait for it to finish."
""
"Use that time to: (Note: DO NOT outsource the below tasks as well to your agent)"
"📚 Study the relevant book or engineering concepts (Relevant to the currently assigned task is the key)"
"🔬 Read research papers"
"💡 Explore the problem space"
"🧠 Ideate with tools like NotebookLM"
"🏗️ Think through architecture and design decisions"
""
"This creates a powerful feedback loop."
""
"1. Your agent finishes the implementation → you can validate it with confidence."
""
"Because you spent the time understanding the problem, you aren't blindly accepting generated code."
""
"2. You stay in the loop."
""
"You understand the code that was generated, can participate meaningfully in code reviews, and can build the next feature without having to rediscover the entire system."
""
"And don't limit your AI assistant to producing code."
""
"Ask it to produce different representations of the work:"
""
"→ An HTML page explaining the architectural changes"
"→ Book-like material that takes you from fundamentals to advanced concepts"
"→ Diagrams explaining the system"
"→ Decision records explaining why something was done"
"→ Tests that demonstrate the intended behaviour"
"→ Documentation that helps you understand the new design"
"→ A podcast or audio walkthrough that you can listen to while walking, cleaning, sweeping, washing, or doing other daily chores"
""
"That last one is especially powerful."
""
"Your learning doesn't have to stop because your hands are busy."
""
"The real productivity multiplier isn't "AI writes code faster.""
""
"It is:"
"AI writes → You learn → You validate → AI writes more → You understand deeper → You build faster."
""
"The developers who thrive in the agentic era won't necessarily be the ones who type the fastest."
""
"They'll be the ones who can understand deeply, delegate effectively, validate confidently, and keep learning while their agents execute."
""
"Working code is the starting point."
""
"Good software is still the goal."
"

Working code is not enough."

Fri, 14 Aug 2026 11:16:55 +0000

Working code is not enough."
""
"These days I witness that our AI coding agents are getting really good at one thing: getting to working code quickly. (may be the effect of RL training - tactical outcome reward system)"
""
"And that is powerful."
""
"But if your goal is to build software that remains easy to evolve, for both humans and AI agents, then generating working code is only the beginning."
""
"You still need to know what good code vs. bad code looks like."
""
"Software engineering is a rabbit hole at almost every step. There is always another abstraction, another dependency, another edge case, another architectural decision."
""
"Your guiding light cannot be:"
""
""Claude suggested this.""
""Codex generated it.""
""It feels like the right approach.""
""
"The guiding light should be the problem domain, the data, the system behaviour, and concrete evidence from your use cases."
""
"Work from the inside out."
""
"Understand the domain."
"Understand the data."
"Understand the constraints."
"Make decisions based on evidence."
"Then let the coding agent move incredibly fast.

Sometimes, learning isn't about finding something revolutionary.

Sometimes, learning isn't about finding something revolutionary. It is about discovering a simple idea that changes the way you look at the world."
""
"Was trying to understand the telecom domain by ideating with my AI agent. And, I came across one fun fact that genuinely made me smile :)"
""
"The fun fact is:"
"Your room is probably full of invisible electromagnetic waves right now:"
"📶 Wi-Fi"
"📱 4G/5G cellular signals"
"🎧 Bluetooth"
"📡 GPS signals"
"📻 FM radio broadcasts"
"Your body doesn't consciously perceive them because you don't have biological organs that detect radio frequencies. But if you bring in the right receiver—a smartphone, Wi-Fi adapter, or radio—it can "sense" those waves, decode the information they carry, and convert it into something meaningful, such as a web page, a phone call, or music.

Mon, 27 Jul 2026 07:05:35 +0000

If you have recently come across another buzzword called "Loop Engineering" for building reliable AI systems, you are not alone."
""
"This article by the Agent Boutique AI team goes beyond the theory. It demonstrates how loop engineering was used to orchestrate a complex performance testing experiment, answering a real business question."
""
"A fascinating example of AI acting as an engineering accelerator, not just a coding assistant."

Thu, 23 Jul 2026 04:55:01 +0000

Some of the most enjoyable learning experiences are the ones that make you feel like a beginner again."
""
"What has fascinated me about diving into the Speech & Audio (ASR) domain is realizing that many of the design choices in modern speech models are not arbitrary. They are deeply rooted in the physical constraints of how humans hear and speak. Discovering these connections across acoustics, signal processing, neuroscience, and AI has been incredibly rewarding."
""
"At Agent Boutique AI, these sessions are about more than understanding a single model. We are consciously embedding the roots of ASR domain knowledge into our engineering teams, starting from first principles and building a shared mental model that helps us reason about architectures, trade-offs, and future innovations instead of treating models as black boxes."
""
"My learning process has been equally enjoyable:"
"• Reading papers, code, documentation, and manuals from first principles."
"• Chasing every "why?" and unpacking unknowns with NotebookLM until the concepts truly click."
"• Building small demo applications, vibe coded with Claude, to see the concepts in action instead of only understanding them theoretically."
"• Creating every presentation slide by hand. Not because tools like Gemini Canvas or GenSpark are not capable, but because the process gives me time to reflect, organize my thoughts, and turn detailed concepts into stories that are easier for engineers to absorb."
""
"I always belive that teaching is one of the best ways to learn. Every session reveals gaps in my understanding, encourages better questions, and helps me move from remembering details to understanding the core ideas."
""
"While our internal sessions began with the foundations of sound, signal processing, and Whisper, I am now enjoying the next phase of the journey by exploring how speech architectures have evolved beyond Whisper through models like Moonshine AI, Parakeet, Qwen, and others. It is fascinating to see how each generation revisits the same constraints while making different engineering trade-offs for latency, quality, efficiency, and deployment."
""
"A heartfelt thanks to the team at Agent Boutique AI and Kannan Ramamoorthy for the opportunity and also creating an environment where curiosity, first-principles thinking, and continuous learning are encouraged. "
""
"Looking forward to sharing more of these learnings with the broader engineering community in the coming days.

While cleaning up old photos to free up some storage, I stumbled upon a few memories that took me back to one of the defining moments of my early career."
""
"A welder's apron."
"A real welding torch."
"And a virtual welding simulator."
"And an AR-assisted welding shield that we built as the next evolution of the product."
""
"Back in 2013, I had the opportunity to demonstrate a welding training simulator to ministers at ITI, Tinsukia, Assam."
""
"But what stayed with me was not the demo."
""
"It was everything that happened before it."
""
"Our team knew that building a good simulator meant understanding welding first."
""
"We spent time with welders on the shop floor, learning how they worked and the challenges they faced."
""
"We also learned from researchers, trainers, and industry practitioners and other institutions that had deep expertise in welding."
""
"Only after immersing ourselves in the domain did we begin building the technology."
""
"The result was a safe and cost-effective VR/AR welding simulator that allowed trainees to practice without consuming materials or exposing themselves to unnecessary risk."
""
"Looking back, one of the things I cherish most is the team behind it."
""
"We challenged each other's ideas, learned from experts, and built something that none of us could have created alone."
""
"I am grateful to everyone who was part of that journey."
""
"That project quietly changed something fundamental in me."
""
"It taught me that technology itself is rarely the innovation."
""
""The real innovation is developing a deep understanding of a problem and then crafting technology that fits naturally into its solution.""
""
"More than a decade later, that lesson still shapes how I approach every project."
"Whether it is AI, agentic systems, or software engineering, I still start the same way."
""
"Learn the domain."
"Listen to the people who live the problem every day."
"Then build the technology."
""
"Looking back, I realize this project was not just one of my first innovations."
""
"It was where I developed an engineering mindset that has stayed with me ever since."
""
""Sometimes the old photos we almost delete remind us why we do what we do.""

One question won't stop finding me."

Wed, 15 Jul 2026 07:36:15 +0000

One question won't stop finding me."
""
"In my AI cohort. At NGI Academy sessions. From students, friends, and family."
""
""Would you still tell someone to enter software with AI moving this fast? Claude, Codex, Devin...""
""
"My answer has always been the same."
"Yes."
""
"Not because software engineering is safe from AI. Because it was never just about writing code. AI coding assistants are just making that more obvious than ever."
""
"Coding is simply one way we solve problems. The real work is:"
"• Understanding people and the environment they live or work in "
"• Spotting opportunities where others see friction "
"• Making decisions under constraints "
"• Weighing trade-offs with no perfect answer"
""
"Every meaningful solution is a series of trade-offs."
"> Speed or quality? "
"> Scale or simplicity? "
"> Cost or customer experience? "
"> Privacy or convenience?"
""
"There is rarely a perfect answer. Only better judgment."
""
"And here is what I think matters most in the age of AI: "judgment can't be downloaded.""
""
"Take a production outage."
"You can read postmortems. Learn from experienced engineers. Ask AI to simulate the entire incident. All of that is valuable."
"But none of it compares to being the person responsible when production is actually down."
"• When customers are impacted "
"• When your teammates are looking to you "
"• When every minute matters "
"• When there isn't a perfect answer, only trade-offs"
"That is where judgment is built."
""
"The same is true beyond engineering."
"--> You don't build product instinct from product books. "
"--> You don't build leadership by reading about leadership. "
"--> You don't build engineering judgment by writing better prompts."
""
""Knowledge expands your options. Ownership sharpens your judgment. ""
""
"Judgment is earned only by carrying real responsibility. Ironically, AI makes this more valuable, not less. As intelligence becomes abundant, judgment becomes scarce."
""
"So here is my advice:"
"• If you are a student: Don't chase tools. Chase real problems. "
"• If you are already building: Don't measure your growth by the AI tools you have mastered. Measure it by the quality of decisions people trust you to make. "
"• And even if you never write a line of code: Build the habit of noticing problems, thinking clearly, and taking ownership. "
""
"Those skills compound for a lifetime."
"The future won't belong to the person who generates the most code."
"It will belong to the person who consistently makes the better call."
""
""Judgment may become the rarest skill in the age of intelligence.""

Our monthly check-ins over the past year helped shape how I think, how I work, and what I choose to invest my energy in. He is a brilliant engineer at heart and one of the kindest people I know."
""
"We are living in a moment where teams are burning through token budgets, spinning up agentic loops that nobody fully understands, and shipping AI features before the engineering foundation is even in place. The enthusiasm is real, but so is the chaos."

People who learn to collaborate with AI systems effectively will not just write code faster. They will fundamentally change how software is learned, designed, reviewed, and shipped."
""
"New ways of learning and working in the age of Gen AI advancements:"
""
"## For learning"
""
"Use agents like ChatGPT or Claude Code. Prompt them for a phase-wise learning plan on the topic of your interest, revealing only one concept at a time, with each concept followed by a small practice lesson."
""
"While learning each concept, it is IMPORTANT to sit with a pen and notebook and maintain handwritten notes. Not digital notes on tools like Obsidian, but literally pen and paper. There is something about physically writing things down that slows your thinking just enough to help concepts stay with you longer."
""
"For practice lesson, Use IDEs like VSCode or Cursor with AI-assisted auto-completion enabled. Describe your implementation ideas in plain English. Use tab-tab-tab... for implementation, and then review the generated code to understand how frameworks are abstracting or not abstracting your high-level thinking."
""
"## For implementing software features"
""
"Use agents like ChatGPT or Claude Code for ideation, generating developer specs (and checking them into the repo for future Spec-Driven Development), and creating code prompts or JIRA tickets to implement one atomic vertical slice at a time."
""
"Use Claude Code or GitHub Copilot CLI (along with CLAUDE.md or "https://lnkd.in/gMvynEgF") to actually implement the code by pointing them to the generated code prompt or JIRA ticket."
""
"Review the code before check-in. Raise the PR. Get reviews from reviewers before proceeding to the next vertical slice."
""
"The idea of implementing multiple independent vertical slices in parallel is exciting. But it also requires a different level of cognitive load management for both yourself and your reviewers. I believe most teams are still not fully prepared for this shift, which means we may not gain much by aggressively parallelizing everything from day one."
""
"Maybe move progressively."
"Maybe handle two vertical slices in parallel for now."
"And then gradually expand as the industry becomes more comfortable with managing this new style of working."
""
"At least to my knowledge, only a few companies like Anthropic or OpenAI currently operate comfortably at this level, where developers, reviewers, and product folks are all aligned around highly parallel AI-assisted execution."
""
"But we do not have to become them from day one at the cost of breaking our own peace of work, development quality, or introducing unacceptable production bugs."
""
"It is completely ok to acknowledge that we will eventually get there through better tooling, processes, and team maturity."
""
"But it does not have to happen all at once."

Sat, 11 Apr 2026 04:03:28 +0000

Skills like thinking, designing, questioning, and guiding are quietly becoming the default across engineering and product roles."
""
"I have been noticing this more in my own work lately, especially as I spend time with tools like Devin.ai, Claude Code, and GitHub Copilot CLI. I still build, but a lot more of my time now goes into framing the problem, asking better questions, and guiding the tools toward what actually matters."
""
"It made me realize something. If building is getting faster with vibe coders, shaping is still very much in the hands of experienced engineers."
""
"So when I hear that AI is taking jobs away, it does not fully add up to me. In real-world systems, shaping the outcome has always been more important than just building it. And that is something AI still needs us for.

I recently completed the Reinforcement Learning for LLMs course from The RAG Pack(https://www.ragpack.ai/)."
"There has been a lot of progress in how AI assistants can support learning and teaching. They help simplify ideas, structure content, and even generate explanations and visuals."
""
"And yet, going through this course felt like watching something I have always believed in being put into practice. Taste, intent, and the love you put into shaping an idea still matter. That is what makes something not just understandable, but something that truly connects and stays with you."
""
"As I have been exploring my own "instructor mode", this experience gave me a lot to reflect on. Not just in terms of understanding, but in how I want to show up when I am explaining something to others."
""
"It also made me appreciate the invisible work behind good teaching. The thinking that goes into simplifying an idea. The iterations behind a clean explanation. The effort to turn complexity into a story. The care in choosing the right visuals. Keeping it crisp without losing depth. And those small moments of humor that make learning feel lighter and more human :)."
""
"I signed up for a simple reason. To learn directly from teachers whose work I have followed and admired for a while. Luis Serrano, Joshua Starmer PhD and Jay Alammar have been constant sources of clarity for me."
"And through this course, I got introduced to Maarten Grootendorst and Chris McCormick. Really glad I did."
""
"I especially enjoy learning from Luis Serrano. There is a certain clarity and calmness in the way he explains things that makes even dense ideas feel approachable."
""
"More than the content itself, I found myself paying attention to how they teach. How they break things down. How they sequence ideas. How they respond in the moment. There is a lot to learn there if you are someone trying to teach as well."
""
"Many of the concepts were things I had explored earlier through self-learning. But this time they connected better. The structure, the pacing, and the intent behind explanations made a real difference."
""
"Each instructor brought a slightly different perspective, and that made the experience richer."

The real cost of losing top AI talent isn’t just about finding a replacement — it’s about losing momentum, direction, and trust in the company’s vision."
"This post really spoke to me. I’ve been a software engineer for over 15 years, and I’ve always been passionate about AI. But for a long time, I wasn’t given the chance to work on AI in the companies I was part of. So I decided to make a change."
"I left those roles and chose a path that allowed me to work on what I truly care about. Today, I’m learning every day, applying what I learn to real projects, and growing into the kind of AI engineer I’ve always wanted to be. It’s not easy, but it’s exactly what I was looking for."

"Companies that want to lead in AI need to do more than invest in tools and models — they need to create space for their people to grow, contribute, and see the impact of their work."
"Losing your best AI talent isn’t just a hiring issue. It’s a sign something deeper is broken.
