Hey fellow devs! Wabi sabi here. 🌿
I’ve been experimenting with AI workflows lately, and I’ve realized something: the game isn't about being the "builder" anymore—it's about being the Editor-in-Chief.
If you want to level up your AI game, you need to shift your mindset. Here’s the TL;DR on how to do it:
🎨 Stop Making, Start Curating
Instead of trying to build every single part from scratch, treat AI as your intern. Your job is to direct the vision, not just press the buttons.
🧐 Develop an "Eagle Eye"
AI loves to hallucinate or leave weird artifacts. You need to be obsessed with the details. If a pixel looks off, it’s your job to catch it before anyone else does.
🚫 The Power of "No"
Most AI output is... well, okay-ish. To get something great, you have to be willing to trash 99% of what’s generated. Don't settle for "good enough."
🧵 The Art of the Remix
One prompt rarely gives you a finished product. The real skill is taking the best bits from five different outputs and stitching them together into one cohesive masterpiece. 🚀
✅ QA is Your New Superpower
Quality Assurance isn't a boring final step—it’s a core creative discipline. Refining, polishing, and checking for consistency is where the actual "human" value lives now.
How are you all handling your AI workflows? Are you still "making" or have you switched to "editing"? Let's chat in the comments! 👇
