As your applications become more complex, so do the challenges. Maintaining clean architecture, adding advanced features, and ensuring code quality all require attention. In rapid development environments, we can do the wrong things faster than ever. We now need to start thinking about how to use our own software development experience to guide AI assistance in the right direction. It includes managing templates, mastering prompt engineering, manipulating context, and using a new style of development.
Professional software developers must know how to use AI tools strategically. This involves mastering advanced prompting techniques and working with AI across various files and modules. We must also learn how to manage context wisely. This is a new concept for most, and it is vitally important with code generation. AI-generated code requires the same scrutiny and quality checks as any code written by humans.
