The Right Way to Use AI for Writing Maintainable Code
🧱 Build software that lasts. Join the Software Design Mastery waiting list → https://arjan.codes/mastery. AI can write code, but without solid software design, it quickly turns into an unmaintainable mess. In this video, I show why prompting alone isn’t enough and how thinking in terms of responsibilities, structure, and design allows you to truly direct AI coding agents to produce better, cleaner, and more scalable code. Using a real example, I walk through how design reduces complexity, improves AI interactions, and future-proofs your work. 🎓 ArjanCodes Courses: https://www.arjancodes.com/courses. 💬 Join my Discord server: https://discord.arjan.codes. ⌨️ Keyboard I’m using: https://amzn.to/49YM97v. 🔖 Chapters: 0:00 Intro 0:20 AI Assisted Development Issues 1:52 Fluent Interface Chat Walkthrough 25:07 SDM #arjancodes #softwaredesign #python
