Invest Heavily in Prompt Setup
- Spend about 40% of your time creating a detailed prompt for your coding AI.
- Detailed prompts reduce errors and yield higher-quality AI-generated code, saving time overall.
Give AI Specific Code Context
- Provide AI with two or three core relevant code files as context before generation.
- This targeted context gives the AI anchor points and improves code relevance and integration.
Thorough AI Code Review Needed
- Review every line of AI-generated code to fully understand it before acceptance.
- Immediate testing catches logic or import errors for fast iteration and correction.
