𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗵𝗮𝘀 𝗔𝗜 𝗯𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗱𝗮𝗶𝗹𝘆 𝗿𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗲? (AI assisted post) AI is a core part of my workflow — in a way that leaves me firmly in control. Across development and personal projects, it acts as an accelerator, not a decision-maker. 💻 In development, it’s somewhere between a rubber duck and a team of junior engineers. A typical workflow starts simple: “I want to update this tool to include X.” From there, it becomes a loop: ➡️ Generate ➡️ Modify ➡️ Review ➡️ Refine AI handles the grunt work — boilerplate, structure, first drafts. But I’m still in control: Deciding what’s correct Changing what isn’t Discarding what doesn’t fit 🔍 I also use it as a reviewer. After writing something, I’ll ask: What could I do better? What’s wrong with this? What am I missing? It’s great for expanding test coverage too — surfacing edge cases, building out unit and end-to-end scenarios. Used properly, AI compounds your skillset. Used poorly, it just amplifies noise, adds clutter and, yes, AI slop to the world. And this post followed a similar approach. I started with an idea, then used AI to shape the structure, refine the wording, and iterate on the flow — a 20–40 prompt process, ending in a manual tweaking process for the bits that needed it. The thoughts are mine. They just made it into words faster. If there's a loss, it's with the personality and fingerprint of my own writing style — that's an edge I'm still working on. It’s also a rapidly moving space, the agents and engines I'm using are forever changing, usage depending on complexity and the types of work that I'm doing. I've deliberately left this post a bit more AI-fingerprinted — it seemed the right thing to do — warts (em-dashes) and all - and now I'm going to get one final grammar and typo check before posting - after which I wont be able to avoid the tempation to edit just before posting.
