Using AI for coding is akin to having a knowledgeable but context-challenged intern. By guiding AI tools like Cursor and Claude Sonnet through progressive prompting and proper documentation, developers can significantly improve their workflow. Key strategies include setting system prompts, using multiple AI models for code review, and continuously learning from the process to avoid mental atrophy. This approach helps mitigate potential drawbacks and enhances coding efficiency.

How to use AI for coding the right way

Well I don’t trust any of these big companies anywhere. Especially form the US and their unordered list of scandals that keeps coming out. “Security”.

I have this concern what if it takes our code train on.

I just started learning how to code and relied on AI a lot in the beginning, to the point where I asked chatGPT whenever I was stuck. This resulted in me not understanding the code and just applying it to whatever problem I was trying to fix.
I guess I ended up in AI hell.
I’ve ended up not using AI at all for now, at least as long as I’m still learning the basics and learning how everything works. I do see the benefits of AI and will use it in the future, but for now I’m gonna figure out how to solve problems on my own.

even if it is so, problem solving skill takes huge toll on the face of code, and program in general. if you let AI code for you, that means you dont learn anything new and have anything back in return.
