Table of contents
Sample prompt
Each chapter includes copy-paste-ready prompts you can fire today. Here's one - rewritten for clarity but unchanged in intent:
Prompt #3 - Refactor for clarity
"Rewrite this function to improve readability and add inline comments that would help a junior developer understand it on first read. Keep the same external behavior and signature. Then list any assumptions you made and any concerns that should go in code review."
The book explains why this prompt works, when to use it, and how to adapt it for tests, docs, and migrations.
Sample passage
The fastest way to get burned by AI is to either trust it too much or refuse to trust it at all. Both extremes lose.
A better default is a ladder: trust AI completely on the cheapest, most reversible rungs (renaming a variable, generating a regex, writing a one-liner), and trust it less as the rung gets more expensive (a database migration, a security boundary, a public API). The skill is not "should I use AI here?" - it's "where on the ladder are we, and what's the cost of being wrong?"
The rest of this chapter walks through five concrete rungs and the prompt patterns that work best at each. You'll also learn the three sentences to add at the bottom of any prompt that lifts the response by an entire rung.
