Coding with AI got messy until I changed my approach
For a while, I let AI tools write all my code because many say it's the best way. But I found the code was often hard to follow and full of odd choices. In one case, for a simple app, the AI made a function that broke when we tried to change it. So I began drafting the core code myself and only asking AI for tips on tricky parts. This slowed me down at first, but it led to cleaner and more reliable software. Now, my whole team does this, and we have fewer issues to fix later.
