Great advice, matches up to my experience. Personally I go a little cheaper and dirtier on the first prompt, then revise as needed. By the way what classes / workshops did you teach?

I've written a little about some my findings and workflow in detail here: https://github.com/sutt/agro/blob/master/docs/case-studies/a...

Thank you for sharing. I taught some workshops on AI-assisted development using Cursor a Windsurf for MIT students (we built an application and wrote a book) and TAed another similar for-credit course. I’ve also been teaching high schoolers how to code, and we use ChatGPT to help us understand and solve leetcode problems by breaking them down into smaller exercises. There’s also now a Harvard CS course on developing with GenAI which I followed along with. The field is exploding.

> ...development using Cursor a Windsurf for MIT students...

Richard Stallman is rolling in his grave with this.

But in all seriousness, nice work, I think this _is_ where the industry is going, hopefully we don't have to rely on using proprietary models forever though.

		Richard Stallman is alive and well, just had dinner with him earlier this month. You can set up a FOSS toolchain to do similar work, it’s just something I haven’t spent the time on. I probably should.

Can you provide any source materials - course notes, book, etc?
