New wave of tools

New generation of makers

A true paradigm shift has begun. A new generation of makers is entering the market.

FAFO, fu** around and find out, vibe coding—you name it. Tools built around AI are genuinely changing the rules of the game.

It’s becoming a creative act. These digital tools are like instruments. You play around without fully understanding the underlying laws of physics.

One can improvise and rely solely on intuition to create a masterpiece.

At the same time, the discipline of software engineering is not going anywhere. Learning to code and thinking like an engineer are more important than ever.

Mathematics and programming deeply influence how you think about systems and solve problems.

No one truly knows what will happen in the long term, but today, rigorous practices and discipline remain necessary to create reliable, secure, and maintainable software.

Keeping this in mind, the new generation of tools is set to be a significant productivity multiplier.

To stay ahead and become a better maker, it's important to tinker with these tools and understand the inner workings.

That's exactly what I want to explore in the upcoming posts. Cursor, Cline, aider—these are just the tip of the iceberg.

Let's discover what real power users do, what happens under the hood, and which other niche tools are about to explode.
