Feeling the same amount of brainrot from heaving AI write most code on some side projects as endless social media consumption.

I got an output but
1) didn’t learn how to fish
2) it’s what I got prompted together not the full vision from my head
3) I could replicate it even if I tried

Rerunning these tests continuously but dang being able to do it yourself still is a super power and seems like it requires more discipline now then it ever did

I recently started contributing to a massive >10 year old open-source project with a very spread out community. All assisted by AI.

Knowing what to probe is key. Probe = prompt with intent to discover and explore

Instead of asking directly to implement a feature, probing always starts with ELI5 about the main components at play, tech stack, gotchas and even asking for Mermaid charts. 

This week I want to experiment with asking it to write tests.
