Part 5 — AI Debugging: The 3-Context Framework That Closes Bugs in Minutes

Two developers. Same AI tool. One fixes the bug in 5 minutes. The other spends 40 getting generic suggestions that miss the root cause. The difference isn't the model — it's the 3 pieces of context that unlock AI debugging. Here's the framework and the 4-step workflow.

Part 3 — The Specification Framework: Write Prompts That Generate Production-Ready Code on the First Try

Vague prompt: 40 minutes of refinement cycles. Precise prompt: production-ready code on the first try. The difference isn't the AI — it's the 5-part specification architecture that eliminates every source of ambiguity before the AI writes a single line.

Part 6 — The Trust Spectrum: When AI Code Review Should Take 4 Seconds vs 4 Hours

AI generates code in seconds. The professional risk is the instinct to review it just as fast. A bug in formatCurrency costs ten minutes. A bug in verifySession costs your company. Reviewing both at the same intensity is a mistake in one direction or the other — and the calibration that fixes it is the difference between shipping AI-assisted code at speed and shipping it as a liability.
