Here are 2 lines I use which help alot with fixing & building things. If I want to fix something I will describe the issue that is happening, when & where, with the actions I take to repeat it (if possible) & then I paste: What ways can we fix this? What are the pros & cons of each & what do you suggest? If I want to make something I will describe it & how I want it to work etc & paste: What ways can we achieve this? What are the pros & cons of each & what do you suggest? I prefer it giving me options to choose from as I can plan how I want to approach the task. Usually I already have a method in mind but sometimes the AI will actually give me a better solution than I had anticipated. It's also a nice way to learn new concepts & ways of doing things because you can ask it more information about each approach & how they will fit in your project.

No way there's a tutorial to use AI to write code. I only use AI to help me when I'm stuck with understanding documentation... I guess that's why my projects take forever 😔

Going thru all ~4.5 hour course I would not recommend. A person, who perhaps knows their stuff, just rereads the text that appears on the screen. Do prompt, here is the result, it works or it does not work, I don't know why, it's up to you to figure it out. Especially the second half about audits is just re-reading without any insight, no beginner would even understand what the audit prompt talks about. Also it says [Full Course] but the full course linked in the description is 8.6 hours long, so there might be something missing. What I would like to see explained: Agents Skills Model selection and pros/cons
