I think human code review is a waste of resources.
So I turned off my AI's permission prompts and wrote 134 standing rules instead. 119 of them start with never, do not, or stop.
9 things I do differently with AI on #DEVCommunity
Built a plant treasure hunt to get kids outside for this week's challenge with @ThePracticalDev. Then I spent a fair amount of time making sure poison ivy couldn't win. 🌿
The models help identify plants. They don't get to award the win. That part is code.
I had a rule in my constitution I'd defended with real numbers.
Codex found the confound in review: the prompt I compared against carried a sentence the other didn't.
I hadn't measured the architecture. I'd measured a paragraph.
My boss kept telling me to make my diffs smaller.
I kept answering the same review comment: is this really required?
Yes. Every time. And it kept getting cut anyway, so I started smuggling lint fixes into whatever branch I already had open.
I had AI redesign my portfolio. More than ten versions.
A case file. A ledger. A docket. A card catalog. They looked nothing alike.
Every single one was an archive. Filters, counts, search. A very organized way to look at my work that said nothing about me.
