Web Dev Shares Honest AI

Short summary

A web developer shares their workflow for integrating AI into Python development, starting with project context before every task. Key practices include saving conversation URLs, building style guides via AI to verify understanding, then creating reusable prompts for templating and Web Components. The iterative prompt refinement process—fixing issues by adding specific clauses—turns imperfect initial outputs into production-ready tools.

• •Always feed AI the project file tree and save conversation URLs to maintain context across sessions
• •Build style guides first as verification that the model understands your project before writing production code
• •Develop reusable prompts iteratively, adding specific clauses each time output misses requirements
• •The same workflow architecture scales across different scenarios—from Django templates to Web Components

Generated with AI, which can make mistakes.
