Comment on Ask HN: How do you coax useful code from AI?

Comments

I don't like current AI in IDE integrations, it's like inviting someone to help you build Lego's with boxing gloves.

Better ask Claude simple questions in the browser, review the answer, research a little when in doubt, and translate the solution.

That brings me the most used mechanisms with advantages and examples.
