I've been working with AI tools since day one. This is where I write about what actually works.
The single biggest upgrade to my AI results wasn't a new model or a better prompt. It was that I stopped typing and started talking.
I shared a Claude Code project setup at work. Same day, I found a better version. A few days later, a third. The habit beats the setup.
Most people still use AI as autocomplete or an error-paster. The real shift is using it to think with, not just produce with.
