I think more often you'll find it's the mediocre coders (like myself) that have trouble using AI. The software developers and CS majors just know exactly what to tell it to do and in the *exact* language it could best be understood. That's just my experience.

Also, I get caught up in multiple errors that will never go away and, since I'm stepping out of my wheelhouse with libraries or packages I'm completely unfamiliar with, I'm completely helpless but to diagnose what went wrong myself and improve upon my code prompting skills.

Don't get me wrong. AI makes possible many things for me. However, I think professional coders probably accomplish much more.

If you've mentored junior devs, talking to the AI in such a way that gives good results is pretty similar, so that may be why.

Knowing how to talk to your wife, your kids and your AI are key to a happy life :)
