If you’re a developer trying to use AI more effectively, here are 3 things that actually helped me:
Treat AI like a junior teammate
Give context, constraints, and expected output — not just one-line prompts.Iterate, don’t expect perfection
The first response is rarely the best. Refinement is where value comes from.Always review like it’s production code
AI is fast — but not always right. Your judgment is still the safety net.
AI won’t replace developers.
But developers who use AI well will replace those who don’t.
What’s one workflow where AI has genuinely helped you?
