Coding with AI, not let AI code for me

Source: Dev.to

Overview

Since generative AI is trending, I have been thinking about how powerful it can be when used wisely—much like a knife can be a cooking tool or a weapon, depending on how we handle it.

I’ve put together a document that serves as a library of prompts for coding with AI, emphasizing that the AI should assist rather than write code for you. This reflects my personal perspective: if you want to be a software developer today, you need to understand the code, not just copy‑paste it. While this isn’t an absolute truth, I believe leveraging AI responsibly can boost productivity.

You can access the prompt library here:
