Good Software Engineering First, Then AI-Assisted Coding

AI-assisted coding for teams that can’t get away with vibes

Atharva notes that AI is a multiplier: the more expertise you have in software engineering, the better the results you can get from LLMs. Furthermore, what helps the human helps the AI.

This means good test coverage, automatic linting, continuous integration and deployment, good documentation practices and “clearly defined features, broken down into multiple small story cards”.

If a team has all of this stuff in place, AI coding assistants will be able to operate more reliably and collaborate more effectively with their human overseers.
