AI Tools can Help with Planning
Establishing Standards Early is Important
Force refactoring sessions regularly
Keep Context Document Up to Date
Clear Context Regularly
Let AI Debug, But Understand what Went Wrong
Commit Often, With Clear Messages
Force AI To Test by Default
Never Hardcode your Secrets
Continue Learning with following relevant tracks
For example if you are using "Claude Code", tell the tool
what you are trying to build, ask it to help refine the idea,
establish the different phases, and once done ask it to
document everything in a document so that you can refer to
that when actually building the product.
When you're starting out, carefully review the AI's initial
outputs - coding patterns, styles, architecture decisions. If
you don't catch bad habits early, the AI will reinforce them
with every iteration, and they'll compound fast.
AI will take the path of least resistance (appending code,
growing files, skipping cleanup). Periodically ask it to step
back and refactor: break things into smaller modules, remove
dead code, improve performance.
If you see yourself repeating some instructions, document the
instructions in the context document. One more thing that
helps is: after a discussion session if you feel like AI can
benefit from learnings in the session, ask it to update the
context document (e.g. claude.md) with the learnings from the
session.
Clear context for better results and to save token costs.
Whenver you are about to start a new/unrelated task, it's
better to clear the context and start fresh.
When something breaks, paste the error and relevant code and
ask AI to explain the error. Don't just accept the fix — make
sure you understand it. If you don't, ask AI it to explain in
simple terms.
After each working feature or fix, make a commit. Ask AI to
suggest a clear commit message that describes what changed
and why. This gives you a safe checkpoint to roll back to if
something goes wrong later.
Most AI tools' default behavior produces implementation-first
code with minimal test coverage. Whenever AI builds a
feature, force it to write basic tests right away to ensure
that bugs get caught early.
Never let the AI put passwords, API keys, or tokens directly
in the code. If you see it doing this, stop it and ask it to
use environment variables instead.
