Building software with AI in 2026 - diving into Cursor
Welcome to 2026! To start off the new year, I’m covering Cursor, the AI coding tool. Over the past couple years, it’s pretty clear that AI-integrated coding assistants have become the norm in software development. Some of the more well-known ones are Claude Code, Cursor, Google’s Anti-Gravity, OpenAI’s Codex, Kilo Code, Open Code, etc. But the issue is, the features of these tools are rapidly changing, and there’s frequently a lack of up-to-date tutorials for how to use them

Enhancing QA with Generative AI
Generative AI is revolutionizing business, but Quality Assurance (QA) is often overlooked. Many companies still use manual testing, leading to delays and defects. AI can enhance QA, not replace testers, by automating test case generation and creating realistic test data. This reduces test creation time by 50-70% and improves coverage. Predictive defect analysis using AI can also identify high-risk code areas before deployment, reducing production defects.

The Twelve-Factor App Methodology
Best practices for cloud-native apps. Single codebase, explicit dependencies, env config. Backing services as resources. Build, release, run separate. Stateless processes, port binding. Scale via concurrency, ensure disposability. Dev/prod parity. Logs as streams. Admin processes same code/config. Updated for Kubernetes, GitOps, security. Key for modern apps.
