I don’t do much of the deep prompting stuff but I find AI can write some code faster than I can and accurately most of the time. You just need to learn what those things are.

But I can’t tell you any useful tips or tricks to be honest. It’s like trying to teach a new driver the intuition of knowing when to brake or go when a traffic light turns yellow. There’s like nothing you can really say that will be that helpful.

That there's really "nothing you can say to help someone develop yellow light stop/go intuition" is just wrong. There are guiding principles that give structure, even if you can’t compress the whole skill into a single rule.

Sure, some skills are more about practice, not rules, but hopefully you're not a driving instructor.
