My 2 AI Coding Strategies That Actually Work

Two practical strategies for AI-assisted agentic coding based on requirement clarity. For well-defined requirements, use plan mode: load full context, iterate on the plan multiple times to surface edge cases, then implement. For uncertain requirements (prototyping, games, novel UIs), skip the plan and prompt iteratively on the fly, ideally with stakeholders in a live session. The two approaches can also be combined: start with rapid experimentation to discover requirements, then discard the exploratory code and restart with a proper plan mode for cleaner output.
