Backend systems, architecture, AI workflows, and the small decisions that decide whether software stays calm under pressure.
Short enough to scan. Useful enough to come back to.
A practical breakdown of what happens when a user opens a website hosted on AWS , from DNS resolution in Route 53 to CloudFront, load balancers, VPC networking, backend services, databases, APIs, and frontend rendering.
AI coding tools become far more powerful when we stop treating them like random chatbots and start structuring them like engineering collaborators. This article explores how Claude Code, CLAUDE.md, SKILL.md, custom skills, commands, MCP, hooks, and context engineering can turn AI-assisted development into a repeatable workflow for understanding, changing, reviewing, and shipping code.
