A senior software engineer shares practical tips for using AI coding tools like Claude and Cursor effectively. Key recommendations include using plan mode before coding, dictating prompts instead of typing, leveraging MCP servers for better context, treating AI like a junior developer requiring guidance, maintaining learning through pair programming mindset, using claude.md and cursor rules for compound engineering, and borrowing designs from sites like Mobin. The focus is on making AI work for you through better prompting and context management rather than blindly accepting generated code.
