Highlight from Write the Damn Code

Don’t get me wrong: this is not anti-AI advice. Use it, by all means. Use it a lot if you want to. But don’t fall into the trap of endless back-and-forth prompt refinement, trying to get the perfect result from AI by “programming in English”. It’s an imprecise, slow and terribly painful way to get things done.

Get your hands dirty. Write the code. It’s what you are good at.

You are a software engineer. Don’t become a prompt refiner.
