Let me start like this: you are here because you’re wondering whether you’re using AI the right way. good for you. You’re probably not.

The good news, though, is that there is no universal “best way” to use AI. It depends entirely on your skill level. I know that’s disappointing.

You listened to Dario, Jensen, and half of Claude opus tweet, and now you’re convinced claude is going to transform you into the next Bjarne Stroustrup before lunch, It won’t.

The uncomfortable truth is that AI can only amplify what’s already there.

If you’re a beginner, AI will mostly give you beginner-level code. The funny part? You probably won’t notice. To you, AI looks like a senior engineer because you’re comparing it against your current skill level, everything looks advanced when you’re new.
