AI is alright if you have a brain. AI can give good sloppy.

The Coding Sloth

AI coding assistants work best when you already know how to program and communicate clearly. Being extremely specific in prompts, breaking tasks into smaller pieces, providing technical context and documentation, and telling AI what not to do dramatically improves results. Using guidelines files, MCP tools for extended functionality, and verification methods helps reduce errors. AI amplifies existing habits—good engineering practices lead to better AI output, while poor habits get amplified too. The key is treating AI as a multiplier of your skills, not a replacement for thinking.

I Have Spent 500+ Hours Programming With AI. This Is what I learned

Yes, the AI of this implementation is a tool.
Neither teacher nor full developer.
At this stage of development - a good helper of routine manual tasks

So true. I myself experienced a little bit with AI then soon realized this is not good as I was unable to understand the code later so I decided to first do it myself like making the basic functionalities to understand how things work then later I can use AI to improve. Is this a good approach for 3rd year university student like me ?

Good explanation. AI is a tool, and if you have the basics down, you’ll do a good job. 👍🏼
