> Ensure code is written in such a way that it's easy to understand for LLMs

Over the summer last year, I had the AI (Gemini Pro 2.5) write base libraries from scratch that area easy for itself to write code against. Now GPro3 can one-shot (with, at most, a single debug loop at the REPL) 100% of the normal code I need developed (back office/business-type code).

Huge productivity booster, there are a few things that are very easy for humans to do that AI struggles with. By removing them, the AI has been just fantastic to work with.

How would you characterize code is easy for AI to write code against. - and wouldn't that also be true for humans?

AI is greatly aided by clear usage examples and trigger calls, such as "Use when [xyz]" types of standard comments.

All relevant code fits in context. Functional APIs. Standard data structures. Design documents for everything.

I'm doing this in a Clojure context, so that helps—the core language/libraries are unusually stable and widely used and so feature-complete there's basically no hallucinations.
