Developer Productivity Tips
Core Development Principles
Vibe Coding
- What it is: Code without constantly looking at the code, up to certain limits
- Benefits: Faster initial development, focus on problem-solving
- Drawbacks: May miss implementation details, requires verification
Always Verify Your Results
- Critical: Understand if the AI did what you requested vs something else/more
- Best Practice: Review generated code before integration
- Why: AI might interpret requirements differently than intended
File Management Strategy
Optimal File Size
- Rule: Split files at 500-600 lines maximum
- Reason: LLM performance degrades with longer files
- Impact: Full file generation takes much longer with large files
- Solution: Modular architecture with focused, smaller files
Problem-First Thinking
Shift Your Mindset
- Old Way: Think about how to solve the problem
- New Way: Focus on problem definitions/descriptions
- Let AI: Figure out the "how" automatically
- Result: Faster development, better solutions
Local Development Automation
Edge Integration
- Download and run the Edge to automate tasks requiring:
- Local workspace access
- System modifications
- File system operations
- Development environment setup
Permission Configuration
- Scope permissions to development tools only
- Avoid: Giving development agents access to production systems
- Security: Separate development and production agent configurations
Code Review Best Practices
AI-Generated Code Review
- Functionality: Does it solve the intended problem?
- Security: Are there any security vulnerabilities?
- Performance: Is the solution efficient?
- Maintainability: Is the code readable and maintainable?
- Standards: Does it follow your coding standards?
Remember: AI is a powerful development partner, but human oversight ensures quality and security.
