“A little over a year ago, we copied and pasted AI code snippets. Today, we have spec-driven development. Yet the biggest lesson isn’t about the tools - it’s about how we use them.”
We’ve come remarkably far in twelve months. From basic code completion to sophisticated integrated assistants. From vibe coding to specification-driven development. The technology has evolved fast, and it's continuing to improve.
But here’s what I’ve learned building systems with AI coding tools: the best results don’t come from better AI. They come from treating AI as a coding partner, not a code generator.
