The difference between using AI and working with an intern is that the intern learns from you while the AI doesn't... which means that YOU need to learn from your interactions with the AI so you can prompt it more effectively next time.
All of my Claude interactions include "(no react)" because I learned from past experience that without that it writes a React component which is much harder to export out and use separately.
I've also learned to remind it to use 16px text sizes on input boxes (to avoid a zoom effect when selecting an input field on Mobile Safari), and I habitually say "Add a copy to clipboard button that changes its text to Copied! for 1.5s after you click it" because then I get a better UX for the copy feature.
