“One thing I recommend if you're new to AI coding is to use a proven framework that real coders use that is you know, has a lot of documentation online so that when you ask it to do things, it's going to do it in its little opinionated way which will just make your life easier. So when you ask it, can you add this feature or can you add, can you fix this bug? It's going to be looking at all the Millions of documentation and code online and fix it in an efficient way.”
