Stop Fancy Prompts Start Breaking Down Problems
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.

Most AI coding assistants are just fancy autocomplete. After testing them all, I found one that actually understands software development – not just syntax, but architecture, workflows, and the full dev lifecycle.
After 30 years of coding, most AI assistants disappoint. Roo Code for VS Code actually gets it right – understands your whole codebase, not just files, and helps without getting in the way.
After 30 years in software, I learned that working with AI isn’t about the tool – it’s about developing the right skills. Clear prompts, breaking problems into chunks, careful delegation, and treating AI like you manage people makes all the difference.
After 30 years coding and 8 in AI, I learned there’s no “best” coding assistant – just the right match for your task. Context matters more than capabilities, and mastering how you work with AI beats picking the fanciest tool.
