Another Rule for Using AI Without Losing My Skills

·4 views

When code breaks, you can't simply say, "AI did that." You're responsible for the code you ship. AI is fast, but over-reliance makes you lose your mental models and context—that's just one of the problems with AI. To protect my skills, I've set one rule: Don't let AI touch your code directly. It might feel unproductive. To test this rule, I recently tried finishing a task using as much AI as possible.

I Built a Customer Support AI System to Help a Friend Find Answers Faster

I built a Customer Support AI System to help a friend who was practicing customer-support workflows and needed a faster way to find accurate answers from support documentation.
