## Blog

- [A Year Without Writing Code](https://coniferous.dev/blog/a-year-without-writing-code): The studies can't agree on whether AI made me faster. After a year of building with it instead of typing, the honest answer is that the craft didn't change, but where my time goes did: less typing, more guiding and reviewing, far more in parallel.
- [The end of the E2E tax](https://coniferous.dev/blog/the-end-of-the-e2e-tax): The economics of end-to-end testing flipped, and a lot of teams haven't internalized it yet.
- [How AI Coding Actually Works](https://coniferous.dev/blog/how-ai-coding-works): AI coding feels like one dial: you type, it answers. It's really a console of levers (the model, context, memory, custom agents and skills) you control, and your results track how many you operate.
