Ah yes, to have AI write code for you, you simply just need to, let's see ..
"Document the requirements, specifications, constraints, and architecture of your project in detail. Document your coding standards, best practices, and design patterns. Use flowcharts, UML diagrams, and other visual aids to communicate complex structures and workflows. Write pseudocode for complex algorithms and logic to guide the AI. Develop efficient debug systems for the AI to use. Build a system that collects logs from all nodes in a distributed system and provides abstracted information. Use a system that allows you to mark how thoroughly each function has been reviewed. Write property based high level specification tests yourself. Use strict linting and formatting rules to ensure code quality and consistency. Utilize path specific coding agent prompts. Provide as much high level information as practical, such as coding standards, best practices, design patterns, and specific requirements for the project. Identify and mark functions that have a high security risk, such as authentication, authorization, and data handling. Make sure that the AI is instructed to change the review state of these functions as soon as it changes a single character in the function. Developers must make sure that the status of these functions is always correct. Explore different solutions to a problem with experiments and prototypes with minimal specifications. Break down complex tasks into smaller, manageable tasks for the AI. You have to check each component or module for its adherence to the specifications and requirements."
And just like that, easy peasy, nothing to it.
As a supreme irony, the story currently on the front page directly under this one ('You are here'), makes the claim "The cost of turning written business logic into code has dropped to zero. Or, at best, near-zero." in the very first sentence.
