This post walks through a hands-on experiment in agentic development using an AI-powered digital twin embedded in the IDE. See how a single, well-structured prompt enabled the agent to implement a real user story, generate behavioral tests, and prepare Git commit documentation—with minimal developer input. Includes real-world code samples, implementation insights, and a candid look at what worked, what didn’t, and where human oversight is still essential.
Welcome to the second part of our series on Codeium Windsurf. If you haven’t yet, check out Part 1 to get detailed insights into what Windsurf is and the features it brings to your coding environment. In this section, we’ll explore how you can leverage Codeium Windsurf’s features to accelerate your coding projects using real code examples.
Windsurf Series Introduction
This is Part 1 of a 2-part blog series. In Part 1, you’ll learn:
How to go from 10x to 100x productivity using the AI-assisted coding tool Windsurf
What Windsurf is and how it enhances your IDE with Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG)
Best practices for using features like Autocomplete, Supercomplete, Chat, Command, and Cascade
How context-aware code generation can save time and reduce errors
Tips to get the most out of Windsurf without falling into common pitfalls
Whether you’re aiming to automate repetitive tasks or radically accelerate full-project development, this guide will show you how Windsurf can reshape your workflow and maximize your impact. Then in part two, we’ll move from theory to practice, showcasing real-world code examples.
Getting paid is nice! Most people enjoy seeing their bank account balance increase after a period of hard work. But have you ever wondered how your paycheck actually gets deposited into your bank account?
In this blog, we’ll explore how a basic payroll or direct deposit processing system ingests an incoming Nacha ACH file. This will give you a clearer picture of how your hard-earned money gets from your employer to you.
One of the great benefits of learning multiple programming languages is the ability to learn how languages are different from one another and what the best pieces of each language are. I’m not deep into Star Trek, but the Borg Collective fascinated me. Before assimilating a new species, the Borg assessed if the new species was worthy of assimilation. To be worthy, the species’ assimilation would need to get the Borg closer to perfection.
We can think about new programming languages like the Borg treats new species. When we learn a new language, we should measure success based on how it hones our programming tool kit and how its concepts grow our overall programming knowledge and understanding…
