AI moves fast.
A few months ago, the pace felt impossible. Every week brought a new tool or a new workflow. I felt I had to keep up or get left behind.
I tried every tool I found.
- Cursor
- ChatGPT
- Claude Code
- Lovable
I kept switching tools. I hoped one tool would fix my workflow. It did not.
I learned a lesson. The secret is not the tool. The secret is how you work with AI.
I changed my process. I do not ask AI to write code immediately.
I follow these steps:
- I explain the problem.
- I describe the feature and business requirements.
- I list edge cases.
- I define the final result.
- I ask AI to help me plan the implementation first.
Once the plan is clear, I give it to an agentic assistant to build.
This change changed everything. I spend less time on repetitive code. I spend more time on architecture and user experience. I focus on solving the actual problem.
AI makes mistakes. I review every line before production. I act as a guide instead of a typist.
The tools change every day. The real skill is communication. Learn how to use AI as part of your process.
Invest in that skill.
