Product Builder Angle

One thing I find interesting about AI coding assistants is that the real value often appears outside raw code generation.

For a small startup, the assistant can help with:

→ boilerplate
→ test scaffolding
→ debugging
→ documentation
→ SQL
→ API examples
→ refactoring

That can make a small engineering team more efficient without pretending the AI can own the entire codebase.

The workflow I like is simple:

Ask → inspect → test → ship

The dangerous workflow is:

Ask → copy → deploy

For anyone evaluating an AI coding tool, I'd test it on a real project and measure how much review it actually saves.
