How I use AI in my workflow

AI has changed my life not just in the way I code but in the way I learn. I remember when I first heard of AI chatbots I was very skeptical and didn't think it would be very helpful. Until I realized it could help me.

Ai get's a bad rep in todays rep because people use it as a replacement for actually doing work. I tend to use Ai in a lot of my work not for just coding but for a lot of the pictures on this blog. Someday I would like to change that because I want to have a dedicated artist to design my art. I'm just a small time blogger who can't afford to commission every art piece and sadly I don't blog enough to warrant it. 

I think Ai is really helpful for a numerous thing and not just building resumes. I see a lot of developers say I think "ai is useless" due to hallucinations and that is often true I think when you ask it to do complicated things it's very unhelpful. However when you can break down the problem into very small chunks especially a new project omg can it help you build very fast. 

My biggest weakness as a developer has always been frontend and having Chatgpt, Claude, or Deepseek quickly build scaffold a page has quickly helped me build my website. I'm going to be so honest and say that the story module that you all keep checking and trust me my analytics keeps telling me yall keep seeing it. It's under construction and it looks beautiful. I couldn't have done that without AI. I don't make beautiful pages as a developer I typically make data driven apps that are very mundane to look at. So Ai has helped me understand things a lot easier.

Not to mention as someone who has ADHD it makes it easier to learn things about different frameworks. I know JavaScript on a much deeper level than I did before. Some of the code chatgpt gives you uses things I've never used before and it's explanations and choices has really helped me level up my coding ability. Not to mention writing official documents like how your product works (which as someone ADHD) I hate super helps me out so much. You just have to be clever about how you put your code into LLM.

I don't think Ai will ever make a bad developer a good developer but it will help unstuck you or make you faster. I do recognize that it has limitations but Ai is best when you can take what it gives you and remix it to suit your own needs. Sometimes you can take what it says and copy and paste it however most of the time AI lacks adding any sort of personality in it's work. That's where you as a developer, writter, or human come in if you copy and paste and don't add anything on top of what ai has done all you have is slop that nobody will consume. 

I've only been on the cusp of things that ai can do to learn more about prompts hit up github repo. I've pretty much recommend people use this on my Strapi plugin and you can't go wrong with this if you are at a loss for knowing what these LLM's can do for you. 

You're only limited by your creativity.
