AI-Assisted Building

Notes on using AI to speed up prototyping and learning.

What AI helps with

  • Brainstorming implementation options
  • Creating first drafts of scripts and utilities
  • Explaining unfamiliar code quickly

What still needs human judgment

  • Problem framing
  • Tradeoff decisions
  • Safety, ethics, and long-term maintainability

My practical takeaway

Use AI for acceleration, not abdication. Keep humans responsible for goals and quality.
