Vibe Check: Hot Takes on AI Skills & Developer Workflows

Shy Ruparel and I went back and forth on what actually works when you build with AI, and what's just a vibe with a blog post attached.

Introduction

Everyone's using AI in their development workflow. Whether they're using it well is a separate question, and most of the answers floating around are somebody's Tuesday afternoon generalized into a best practice.

Shy and I went through which ones hold up. Writing Skills that hold context instead of bloating it, managing the junior-engineer-who-never-sleeps energy of an LLM, and where the community's received wisdom holds up against a real codebase.
