🤖 AI is the new compiler

There are two ways to use AI:

• Start with a vague prompt and keep prompting until we get the result we want.
• Point the AI at documentation, and keep updating the documentation until it is clear enough that AI can do the right thing.

Even though it takes more time up front, in the end, the second approach will be faster and more efficient because building a cohesive picture from a long string of sloppy prompts is difficult, even with something as capable as AI. AI coding engines are not free, so efficiency matters.

AI is the new compiler -- IF we choose to use it that way.

Writing clean code is a skill. So is writing clean documentation.
