Getting started with AI coding

A practical primer — and the start of something larger.

By Paweł·

This AI Coding section collects notes and experiments on building real software with AI agents. It works exactly like Notes for now — but it has its own home because it's going to grow into a proper course.

A first workflow

A minimal loop that scales from one-line fixes to multi-file features.

  1. 1
    Plan before you prompt

    Describe the change and the constraints. Let the agent explore the codebase and propose an approach before it writes anything.

  2. 2
    Work in small, verifiable steps

    Keep each change reviewable. Run the build or tests after every step so regressions surface immediately.

  3. 3
    Verify in the real app

    Don't trust green tests alone — open the app and confirm the behaviour you asked for actually happens.
