Since the generative AI is trending, I have the following thinking about it: it is very powerful if we use it in a convenient way. We may use a knife as a cooking tool or not... you get the idea.
I just prepared a document which is working as a library where you will find prompts for coding with AI, but not let AI coding for you. It is only my perspective, but I am currently thinking that If I want to be a Software Developer or something like that, nowadays, I really have to understand the code, and not only copy and paste. But well, as I mentioned, it is only my point of view and not the truth.
Nevertheless, at the same time I think that we should take the advantage of AI. Therefore, I am sharing an online doc where this library of prompts will be living: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1KH1O48it3-r-jUrLNenUeavv-1NJdVyprzoQUHqGGp8/edit?usp=sharing
Thank you very much for reading.

The distinction you're drawing — 'coding with AI' vs 'letting AI code for me' — maps onto something deeper about the developer skill set that's emerging. The developers I've seen get the most out of AI tools treat them the way a senior engineer treats a junior: they direct, review, and correct rather than blindly accepting output. That requires a strong mental model of what good code looks like. Context ownership is the other thing I'd emphasize: if you can't explain to the AI why your specific approach is better than the obvious one, you probably don't understand it well enough to ship it.
