As AI tools become part of our daily workflows, a weird duality is emerging:

👨‍💻 Developers are fluent in code but not always in natural language.
They know what they want the AI to do… but struggle to phrase it in a way that gets the right output.

Fluent in Python, broken in English.

🧑‍🏫 Non-developers can explain ideas and goals clearly…
But they don’t know the “magic keywords” that trigger the right AI response.

Great at asking, missing the insider lingo.

Now throw in the final twist:
🎲 AI responses aren’t deterministic.
You might get a different answer every single time for the same prompt.

So what we have is:
🔹 Two groups of experienced people
🔹 Learning a new language (prompting)
🔹 To talk to a system that behaves like a moody oracle.

We’re not just learning to "code with AI" — we’re learning how to communicate with it.
And that's a whole new skill in itself.

There’s a common debate about whether AI will replace developers. But that’s the wrong question.

AI doesn’t replace problem-solving—it 𝙖𝙢𝙥𝙡𝙞𝙛𝙞𝙚𝙨 it. The trick is knowing how to use it well.

A small part of my #CodingWithAI project. It is the first time I am using an #AI API and honestly, I am shell shocked how amazingly powerful and easy this is!

This part of my project looks at scripts on a website, and submits to #claudeai
The name, asking for popularity and security estimates as well as a 5 word functional description.

I am using the haiku Claude LLM because it's the simplest and I'm cheap.
