Original Description

🤝 Work with me: https://aibuilder.academy/yt/PCLu84VLF1w 🚀 Ship AI apps in weeks, not months: https://aibuilder.academy/courses/yt/PCLu84VLF1w The most impactful AI use case today is using it to code. If you’re not careful, however, this can be more harmful than helpful. Here, I’ll discuss 5 tactics I use to build software 10X faster with AI, without technical debt or painful refactoring. 💻 Example Repo: https://github.com/ShawhinT/html2md 📰 Read More: https://shawhin.medium.com/how-to-code-10x-faster-using-ai-without-the-chaos-0fb1ffff672c?source=friends_link&sk=b683c285d798e6d1f1c8527c3c5bc8b6 Intro - 0:00 AI can write all your code - 1:00 Where it goes wrong - 2:09 What AI coding is (actually) about - 3:20 5 Tactics for AI coding - 4:42 Tactic 1: Deploy LLMs in your code base - 5:00 Tactic 2: Write project-level specs - 6:21 Tactic 3: Provide docs - 7:08 Tactic 4: Iterate on plans, not code - 8:53 Tactic 5: Commit little and often - 10:30 Example Repo - 11:38
