  • This is the real way it becomes a tool. It points you in the right direction or gives you the keywords you need to find that direction yourself.

    Always look up its sources or ask for them explicitly and move away from the ai as soon as you can.

    As soon as you can start reading documentation, do it. Don’t have an AI summarise it for you.

  • I often use z as a temp variable when i need something to compare to when creating new code but don’t want a separate window to the side or to experiment with something but don’t yet know what the result can or will be. I use z purely just because i know z is very very unlikely to have been used elsewhere, and if for some reason it has, then i just name it ‘zz’.

    This is actually temporary by the way. It does not stay in my code. Once I’m done with it, i delete it.
