Don't Use AI Tools Like Kevin
Mar 28
If you want to watch a tour-de-force on how to use AI to go from a rough idea you talked about to a working front-end, watch this YouTube video by accidental YouTube star and incredibly smart and kind person, Kevin Leneway.
But unless you're constantly building products and pushing the limits of AI, you shouldn’t follow his step-by-step approach.
You’re a JV player and Kevin is a pro.
Pro-level advice doesn't work when you're on the JV team.
Here's what you should do instead: Follow his approach right up to where he tells Cursor to get to work. Right there, take it off autopilot and work through it step-by-step. You’ll learn a lot about what a '1 point task' is for AI and where AI can go off the rails.
You’ll probably also realize you didn’t clearly describe what to build up front and you have some changes you’d like to make along the way.
