I had to build many API endpoints. Typing boilerplate code is boring. I tried using AI to save time. It failed. The AI gave me bad outputs and fake code.

I made a few mistakes. I asked vague questions. I did not share my database schema. I asked for too much at once. I treated AI like a senior developer.

I changed my approach. I started treating AI like a new intern. Interns need clear instructions.

Here is what worked:

• Give clear input and output formats.
• Provide two or three real examples.
• Set a specific role for the AI.

I built a tool to automate this. It sends a schema and a few-shot example to the AI. The code is now reliable. It uses correct imports and error handling.

Keep these rules in mind:

• Review every line. AI still makes mistakes.
• Set temperature to 0.2 for stability.
• Use AI for repetitive patterns.
• Write complex logic by hand.

AI stops burnout on boring tasks. It is not a magic fix. Give it structure. Review the output.

How do you use AI in your work?
