"practice techniques for AI-assisted development"

I guess people don't like to admit that AI is doing 95% of their job so they pretend they are "practicing techniques" or "experimenting with new models", or "heavily planning the spec"

Writing what you want in English and having the AI spit it out does not take any skill anymore, it's not 2022.

There’s a marked difference in quality depending on context, usage of sub-agents, initial specs, and model-wise a big difference from what Opus would produce and Fable.

I’m not saying I’m hand coding, but saying getting good outputs doesn’t take any technique means your definition of good outputs probably isn’t very refined. And saying it hasn’t taken technique for 4 years is just flat wrong.

I agree there is some technique involved. It's just so trivial compared to hand coding that I find the comparison meaningless.
