If you know how to architect code well, you can guide the AI to create smaller more targeted modules. That way as you 'write code with AI', you give it a targeted subset of the files to edit on each prompt.

In a way the AI becomes the dev and you become the code reviewer. Often as the AI is writing the code, you're thinking about the next step.



It's not like you go to claude and say "Grug now use AI, Grug say AI make app OR GRUG HIT AI WITH HAMMER!" and expect 50kloc of code to appear.

You do it one step at a time, similary to how you would structure good tickets (often even smaller).

AI often still makes shit, but you do get somewhere a whole heap load of time faster.
