My AI workflow:

What AI handles well:

  • Generating boilerplate code
  • Writing documentation
  • Explaining complex concepts
  • Debugging error messages
  • Suggesting algorithm approaches

What humans should do:

  • Architect solutions
  • Design user experiences
  • Make tradeoff decisions
  • Review and refine AI output
  • Ensure code quality and security

The best AI tool? Context. The more you tell it about your codebase, the better the suggestions.

Remember: AI is a pair programmer, not a replacement. You still need to understand what it's suggesting.
