some tips if you’re letting AI take the wheel on writing code (cursor composer, windsurf, etc):
 
write an overview doc with a checklist first

use strongly-typed languages (ts, rust, etc)

start with tests, lint, code formatting

use git (obviously) & commit often

set up pre-commit hooks and CI for all of the above

Curious if you give this overview doc to the AI?

yeah it’s literally the top of the prompt; “review this document to familiarize yourself with the project and select a task based on the remaining checklist items and current state of the codebase” or something

and of course I use an LLM to prepare this doc too 🤣

though usually I go with a chat-based interface for that, then bring it over to windsurf or whatever once it’s ready to rock
