AI Codes Confidently But Often Gets It Wrong
30 years coding, 8 with AI: The real skill isn’t getting AI to write code – it’s knowing when to ignore its confident answers. AI hallucinates with authority.

Know when to tweak your AI prompts vs starting fresh? I treat prompt engineering like software development – iterate when you’re close, reboot when the foundation is broken.
After 8 years with AI, I’ve learned the secret isn’t perfect prompts – it’s iteration. Treat each response as feedback, refine your approach, and know when to start over.
After 8 years with AI, I finally figured out why some people get great results while others just get frustrated: they’re trying to solve everything at once instead of breaking it down.
Breaking complex coding problems into smaller chunks gets better AI results than fancy prompts. After 30+ years coding, I’ve learned the real skill is decomposition, not prompt engineering.
