So far, I have found that good AI-generated code comes from good developers. The prompt flow that seems to work best is to be able to break down a problem in logical steps, articulating specific requirements along the way. Sometimes it makes sense, and you develop intuition for, when to ask the AI to just stub out service to come back to later. In other words, good prompting for software developer appears to require some of the core problem-solving skills needed to be a good developer in the first place.

As an aside, I also sometimes ask AI agents to help me rename variables!
