ANECDOTE

Voice-to-Code Drafting Workflow

  • Arvid uses voice-to-text with Whisperflow to draft detailed coding specifications instead of typing.
  • He pastes these spoken prompts into his AI coding assistant Juni for effective code generation and editing.
ADVICE

Invest Heavily in Prompt Setup

  • Spend about 40% of your time creating a detailed prompt for your coding AI.
  • Detailed prompts reduce errors and yield higher-quality AI-generated code, saving time overall.
ADVICE

Give AI Specific Code Context

  • Provide AI with two or three core relevant code files as context before generation.
  • This targeted context gives the AI anchor points and improves code relevance and integration.
