1. Be Braver Into Unknown. If you know the "end state," you can ask AI to fill in the messy "middle". It's wild how well it connects the dots.
2. Plan > Execute. Always start with a PRD and list the tasks (I use this template by Ryan Carson). Ask AI to clarify before building. Debugging later costs way more time than a few minutes of thinking up front.
3. AI is Expansionary. The more I can create, the more I want to create.
4. Taste & Judgment Matters More Than Ever. Execution isn't the bottleneck anymore, but you still need to know what "great" looks like to guide the AI.
5. First-Principle Problem Solving Still Wins. Break things into fundamental building blocks so you can unblock the AI when it gets stuck.
