Welcome!
This is David Wetterau's blog. I live in New York City and work as a Software Engineer at Cursor. I previously worked at Airtable on new user-facing product features, new product verticals, and on all-sorts-of AI things. For many years before that, I worked at Dropbox on the distributed systems that store and sync files and folders for millions of users.

You have probably heard of AI coding tools like Cursor, Claude Code, Codex or their open-source counterparts (e.g. Cline, Zed). You may have even been encouraged to try to use these tools at work and have licenses procured and ready for you to take advantage of.
