+
+My software engineering approach as it relates to agnetic coding is that I'm not doing anything special to make the codebase AI-friendly. 
+
+Or rather, there's a whole bunch I'm doing, but these things aren't at any cost to humans, the things I'm doing make it easier for humans too. 
+
+
+Examples: 
+
+- Schema driven development
+- Strong emphasis on static checks - linting
+- Using code generators to create any code that can be inferred
+- Having tests be the thing that helps me understand what a unit of code does
+- Having a terminology.md file to create an explicit and unambiguous vocubulary for the project
+- Creating decision trees
+
+
+I think AI makes us _better_ programmers, because it forces developers to explicitly label assumptions. 
+
+
+
+I think as humans, we kind of kind of fuzz over gaps in context without realising.
+
+If a human misunderstands something, we might correct the misunderstanding, but often it ends there, there isn't a corresponding update in the code base. Whereas an AI misunderstanding somethng will lead to an update in one of prompt files.
