Alright fellow devs, the AI wave is here, and even us "old school coders" are evolving! I've been shaping my workflow as a Generative Coder, trying to blend decades of experience with the power of tools like Gemini, Claude, GPT, and the speed of Cursor IDE (while still loving WebStorm for its strengths!).

My current process is a 3-step dance:

  1. AI Huddle (with Gemini): Brainstorming needs & context.
  2. Charting the Course: Human-led user flows & requirements.
  3. The Generative Relay: Iterative prompting (Claude in Cursor, GPT/Gemini for second opinions), reviewing, and refining. It's exciting, but I'm on a mission to make it perfectly efficient – fewer re-prompts, tighter loops, and more time for big-picture design. I’m an engineer, after all; it should be a crystal-clear development process! (Even if that first-shot perfect result from AI is still a dream 😉).

For a more detailed breakdown of my current tools and process, you can read the full post on my blog:

But here on dev.to, I really want to hear from YOU!

  • What does your AI-assisted workflow look like?
  • Which tools are you finding indispensable?
  • How are you tackling the iteration cycles and review process?
  • What are your tips for building faster, smarter, and better as a Generative Coder?

Drop your insights, workflows, and war stories in the comments below! Let’s compare notes and learn from each other as we navigate this new era.
