How far a prompt gets you — and where it stops
AI is strongest at the first version of an interface and weakest exactly where software becomes consequential: the parts nobody sees.
This is a sample entry. The structure is final; the full write-up is on its way.
Knowing the edge of the tool is what lets you use it fearlessly up to that edge.
What does it do well?
- Turning a described interface into a working one in minutes.
- Exploring several directions cheaply enough to throw most of them away.
- Keeping a team looking at the same artefact instead of the same document.
Where does it hand the problem back?
- Decisions with long consequences, like how data is shaped.
- Anything adversarial — access, permissions, abuse, payment.
- Knowing what should have been tested.
- Being accountable when it breaks in front of a customer.
