Thesis AI coding tools help most when they remove boring work and leave the hard thinking to you
TLDR
- They speed up search and boilerplate
- They can miss context and make wrong assumptions
- The best workflow is AI draft then human review
1) Where AI helps a lot
- Finding code and docs fast
- Writing small helper functions
- Explaining error messages
- Generating tests for simple cases
2) Where AI still struggles
- Deep product context
- New designs with many tradeoffs
- Security and privacy edge cases
- Large refactors without good tests
3) A practical workflow
- Ask for a first draft
- Add your constraints and real requirements
- Review every change
- Run tests and add new tests
- Keep a short note of what was learned
4) A simple rule
If a change is important enough to ship
It is important enough to understand
Bottom line
AI tools are like a fast assistant
They make you quicker
They do not replace ownership
